Only two hours in the workshop today, between the return from vacation and the day job. I aligned both ailerons, first the aileron gets blocked in trail with the wing by aligning the trailing edge with two toolings holes on the outboard ribs. Then by using the small blue jig, the rod's length is adjusted. The idea is to get the jig sitting flush on the spar. Here a picture before and after (they are not focused very well). Then I began to look at the autopilot roll servo installation, as I want to prime the brackets, I'll finish the install next week. Working time on this subpart Today : 2h (Total : 32h) |

The day begins with the building of the wing storing cradle. I did follow exactly Vans plan as I have to build the cradle as small as possible due to lack of storing space. I forgot to take a picture before transfering the wings from the jig. Here is the result. The I disassembled the construction jig and cleaned up the workshop. I couldn't resist trying to install the ailerons. It begins with the fabrication of some spacers from aluminium tubing., and the the aileron gets installed on the wings trailing adge. Here is one of the brackets, still some washers to install, this looks like some challenge. I also think that I should not have cut the spacers per plan, but have waited till the aileron is on the wing to get the correct diemensions. I'll do the when rigging the ailerons for the final time. Working time on this subpart Today : 5h (Total : 30h) |

Today, I begun by riveting the parts I had prepared yesterday. fr]Ensuite, premier montage du guignol de commande pour l'aileron. La montage est provisoire, les boulons ne sont pas positionnés correctement et sur une des ailes le guignol sera muni d'une servocommande pour le pilote automatique.[/fr]The I installed the aileron bellcrank, nothing is torqued as the bolts are in the wrong way and one of the bellcrank will be equipped with an autopilot servo. The I reclecoed the inboard lower skin, the riveting will take place later as the wing has first to be inspected. Tomorrow I'll built the wing storing cradle. Working time on this subpart Today : 4h (Total : 25h) |

A lot of small tasks today, first I riveted the aileron brakets to the rear spar. Some rivets would not want to play my game; so it took longer than expected. Then I installed the electric cable conduit. Then I clecoed the flap brace an the aileron gap fairing. The parts were painted but not drilled to size. So I drilled everything, deburred the holes, dimplind and coutersunk where necessary. It did take some time. Working time on this subpart Today : 5h (Total : 21h) |
