 Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2008 8:28 pm Post subject: Flap & Aileron attachment/detach |
 |
|
Gentlemen,
I'm wondering what the sequence is for attaching and detaching the
ailerons and flaps once the aircraft is complete. Having trimmed the
bolt embedded in the inboard end of the aileron and fitted the flaps
(including the inboard extension), I can't for the life of me see how
one can attach the aileron to the wing with the flap already installed.
For that matter, it appears to me that an aileron cannot be detached
from the wing with the flap in place either in the retracted or
deployed position.
It appears that ailerons must be attached first, and then (and only
then) the flaps can be attached in the deployed position.
So my question is: If (for some reason) one would desire to detach an
aileron from the wing, must the flap be detached first?
(That seems to be the case for me, and I'm wondering if this is SOP or
if I've screwed up somewhere along the line.)
Thanks for any comments from your experience,
Fred

Hi Fred,
>From a fully assembled wing (de rigged from A/C), first detach OR5 (Flap drive link) from FL 3 (Inner flap hinge arm), Then you can rotate the flap completely round to rest on the top surface of the wing.
Then you can remove the aileron as if the flap was not there.
I hope this helps

didn't you mean "you can rotate the flap completely round to rest on the
_bottom_ surface of the wing."

Fred
It depends on exactly how the end of the aileron is made but in general you
are correct. It is very difficult to remove the aileron without removing
the flap first.

Pete/Graham,
Ah, the light bulb goes on...yes, de-rigging the wing surely helps!
Sorry guys...brain freeze...thanks a bunch!
