I am in the process of "Mounting quick-connect bellcrank brackets in 

cockpit module".



I note on p.14-5, Step 10, a requirement for utilising the W16 

bellcrank pivot holes in the spars...on p. 14-4 the manual mentions 

removing the W16 bolts "as you'll need the holes when jigging up for 

the brackets to support the fuselage mounted quick-connect bellcranks".



Unfortunately, way back on p. 8-11, my manual calls for the 

counterbored holes for said bolts to be filled with flox over the heads 

of the bolts...consequently, I cannot remove them.



I've since learned from Roger (at) E04 that the manual has been revised to 

alert builders of the need to defer floxing in the W16 bolts until much 

later.



Tentatively, I'm thinking to get a short length of tubing and thread it 

to receive the W16 bolts and then using this as a coupling to the 1/4" 

threaded rod which the manual calls for to be check-nutted to the CS14 

bracket...hopefully, when this is all threaded together it will signify 

that the CS14 bracket is in its proper location.



I'm wondering if others have faced and dealt with this situation and 

would appreciate any suggestions.



Thanks much...Fred A194

Fred,



If you grind away as much of the flox as you can and carefully heat up the

bolt, it will come out if you want to stick to the manual procedure.

Thank you Bob and Brian,



I have such a reluctance to apply heat to this critical area of the 

spar (notwithstanding numerous references to the use of heat, albeit w/ 

extreme caution, to deal with mistakes like mine), that I would be 

inclined to drill out the head of the bolt along w/ the flox, punch out 

what remains of the bolt and replace it, rather than attempt to heat up 

the bolt.

 Brian doesn't emphasise to only apply heat to the bolt stem and protect

 the spa by the use of say a soldering mat with a hole punched through 

 it

 to take the bolt.

Hi Fred,



I've been through the same problem. I sanded the top of the head of the  

bolt clean, and it came out with a light tap.

No major problem.

Fred,

Further to Brian's suggestion of heating to remove the bolt through the 

spar, it is probably worth mentioning that the current manual also points 

out that it is often necessary to modify the position of this bolt after 

bonding in the cockpit module as things seem to move a bit during this 

procedure causing the spar bolt for W16 to come slightly out of alignment 

with the CS14 bolt. I had to reposition it, but fortunately had not floxed 

it in. So it might be a good idea for you not to flox it in again until 

after you do the final alignment with the wings rigged.

Thank you Keith, Jos, Brian, and Bob for your very helpful responses to 

my request for suggestions...those W16 bolts are comin' out!....I very 

much appreciate the collective wisdom of this forum...I can't imagine 

building in isolation.
