 Posted: Mon May 08, 2006 4:39 pm Post subject: Tank Baffle Orientation |
 |
|
The lower flange of the tank baffle has two closely spaced holes at
the center that match up with two closely spaced holes on the bottom
of the tank skin. I've managed to assemble and drill the tank baffle
to the ribs, Attach Z's and skin with the two closely spaced holes of
the baffle facing up instead of down. This is the only asymmetrical
aspect of the baffle orientation that I can see.
It seems that the solution is to drill out the 2nd holes and put in
an extra rivet. Does anyone see a problem with this?

Jeff,
That extra hole determines the top of the baffle, look at your skins and you will see that there are two holes close to each other on one side of the skin about midway and not the other side of the skin. Make sure you get the baffle in the right orientation or you will match drill an extra hole where you don't need one....ask me how I know.

We put it in wrong to start with, but then realized the error and flipped
it, drilled the extra hole in the side that didn't need it, and riveted it
correctly as it should have been. The plans don't say anything about that
orientation and I couldn't see any difference, but just to be safe, we
riveted it the way it should have been based on the holes and now have an
extra rivet on the other side.
Do not archive.

One thing you might need to check is if you don't put the baffle on
correctly could the z-brackets end up not lining up with the holes in the
main spar?
