Well, as soon as I get Ed's plane out of my hangar (still waiting on the
|
engine to come back from LyCon), I'm going to do a top-end overhaul on Anna's
plane (I'm picking up her cylinders when I get Ed's engine). I'm also going to
start on a complete restoration of a 77 Tiger. It's low time, very clean, and
it's owner wants to make it as nice as he can afford.
It'll get a new paint job, new interior and new avionics. The engine has
300 hours on it.
The horizontal has cracks, so, that needs to be fixed. I talked with a DER
about making an STC for a doubler so the existing brackets do not need to be
debonded and new ones riveted in place. That never made any sense to me.
Those bonded on brackets are a lot stronger than any riveted piece being used to
replace them. If the problem is cracking in the corner, I'll design a
doubler that attaches to the existing structure that takes up the load in the
corners and stops further cracking. I will also get load data on the effect of
tying the vertical brackets to the ELT plate or simply tying them across the top
under the ELT plate. The finished doublers will make a bulkhead that looks
very similar to the bulkhead where the original Traveler horizontal (forward
attach) was attached.
