Okay, I am going to do a public gripe.
I am just about to finish section 12 and was amazed at how my entire day
yesteray was spent placing nut plates on the VS and the HS. After
completing this I finally got to the area in the plans to finish the
empannage gap plate.
One page 12-5 there is a bolt typed warning the says, DO NOT DRILL SKINS OR
LONGERONS OF THE EMPANNAGE UNTIL PAGE 12-6.
The next step say dril one of the longeron holes. Go figure?????
Okay, so I left it for later.
Finally on to page 12-6 and things are flowing. I drill all the longeron
holes to #36, debur and bla,bla, bla.
Next step, drill to #27 the empanage gap plate holes and ....... My
daughter comes down to say we are going out to dinner and I go and drill the
longeron holes also to #27, (like we have been doing with the other areas
that received nutplates.) Now, I had read ahead the night before, and
realized these longeron hole would be taped to receive the screws directly,
but I kept remembering the entire time this warning as mentioned above.
Since these hole should never have been drilled to #27, WHY DID THIS WARNING
EVER SAY WHAT IT SAID???????
All is not lost, I had to order some 4mm flat head screws and a tap so that
the holes drilled to #27 in the longerons would not have to be enlarged
anymore. Unfortunately the head angle is 90 degrees and not 100 degrees but
I can fix this. I just didn't want to go up to #8 pan heads or use
nutplates on the inside of the longerons. Trying to not remove the HS and
disconnect the trim cables, again, again, again,.....
Good Grief Charlie Brown!!!!!!
