Tim Olson and others,  

   

I remember way back when you recommended removing your floor pans form the QB, not just for stray clecos but also to personally check quality of the Philippines.   I’ve got all the rear ones out but can’t figure an easy way to remove the most forward ones since the gear leg brackets are bolting them in.  Tips?

Rob,

Are the floor forward floor boards riveted in place.



The early quickbuild fuselage did not have the forward floor pan 

installed at all. They were shipped separately as a part. The gear legs 

were bolted in place but they needed to be removed then the floor pan 

installed, match drilled, etc. I have heard that the newer QBs have the 

pans fully installed. It would be quite a chore to drill out all those 

pop rivets to check the quality of the build. That being said, there 

have been many reports of stuff being left inside the temporarily 

installed seat and floor panels. I found a cleco and some loose rivets.

Hi  

   

I know this may come across as asking if some wants to sell their first born, but I am in the market for tools. Basically, I need just about everything but am primarily interested in air tools including a pneumatic squeeze and a DTRT-2 dimplier.  

   

Anybody too busy flying to need tools?  

   

Cheers  

   

Les

Back when I got mine, we still had to install the nutplates to

bolt in the gear leg mounts, and not all the bolts were in the

mounts yet.   If you still want to pull them to put in insulation

or anything else, I guess you're stuck pulling the gear legs.

It's not a fun job, but not too awful either.   Wish I

had better news for you.

You need to remove the gear mounts and check all the bolt holes that hold 

them in as all the side holes on mine were F%$#(at) up so I had to enlarge and 

put bigger bolts in. Other QB builders have reported this! Its usualy the R 

side only.

So worth tacking out just for that.

I have the slow build fuse and found mounting the gear legs a pain in the butt.  I can see how the guys in the Phillipines are buggering them up.  The other area that a lot of people have trouble with is around the F-1001B and WD-1002 weldment at the fwd fuse (not enough hole edge clearance).  I wonder how the QBs look in that area??  

cheers,

Like Hugo said, there are only a few rivets tacking the pans into place.  I

guess I'll try Van's tomorrow and verify the bolts installed with stress

before I plunge.  Thanks all for the info.
