My lame excuse: I was working with the wing upside down when installing the plug...
Here is the picture of the plug once fixed:
We had a storm coming and had just enough time to bring the wings and fuselage back into the workshop and stop for the day.
Today was the day Anne had scheduled to leave, this did not leave room for error... and everything went well, indeed as these pictures show:
Preparing to install the wings, you can see the left wing sitting on its "super rack", my solution for one man wing fitting/removal.
The two wings are on as the two "super racks" sit empty
Time to board!
Kneeling in the baggage compartment, this is killing me!
Drilling in process, viewed through the gas tank filling hole
One tube drilled and clecoed, one to go!
All done!
Anne's turn now!
Disassembling the just drilled torque tubes with bolts and screws in tight quarters. I'm glad to have small hands around to help!
Anne is waiving good by after a job well done!
Vieille, Very interested in your "super rack" one man fitting system. I have seen with the pictures how it works. Is there any problems with the main spar when removing the wing? I have a glider with a one man system so familiar with the procedure. Thanks, tomh@pim4u.com
ReplyDeleteVielle, I found your YouTube on the Super Rack. The videos answered my questions. Thanks, Tom
