 Posted: Fri Sep 19, 2014 2:21 pm Post subject: retract lever slot |
 |
|
I’ve started marking out the position of the landing gear retract lever slot on the top of the tunnel, but I’m worried that it appears rather close to the edge of the top surface at its aft end. If I put the guide plate on top of where I’ve marked, it protrudes beyond the edge of the tunnel, so it looks as though I’d need a fillet of filler to blend it in after fitting it. I double-checked between the paper & PDF manuals (I’ve been caught before with differences between the two) but both have the same dimensions.
Is this something I should worry about? Should I move the slot slightly more towards the centreline to avoid the possibility of it breaking out of the side of the tunnel?
All input gratefully received.
in friendship

Rowland i recall that the cover plate for the retract lever slot, does in fact hang over the edge on the rear left corner. This will not be seen once the carpet is fitted. Philip George.

Philip - carpet? What carpet? Who said I was going to fit carpet?
But seriously, thanks for the reassurance!

Alan - thanks for your message & pictures. The second one does seem to show a similar situation to mine. Initially I had difficulty working out the viewpoint of the first one; the lines in the pre-preg can confuse the perspective and make it look like an external corner. I see now it’s taken from the underside looking forward and into the internal corner, and certainly does show that the slot comes pretty near the edge of the tunnel.
Thanks for the confirmation that my measurements are OK.
in friendship

Hi Rowland,
This is how mine looked after fitting and fettling - sorry I haven't got any carpet, but the general idea is the same...
HTH,
