Another day, another wheel pant. Basically, the left is the unmodified version, the middle is what we want, the right is the tools available..... |
|
The cutting wheel is simple and quickest method to start with, then the rotary burr. |
|
Then re-organise the LHS brackets and test fit. |
|
The initial fitting looks OK, although we will wait until later for final fitting. |
|
Dad did some trimming of the two steps of the aft lower corners |
|
and then tidied with the angle grinder (and emery paper...) |
|
Finishing the step mounting, the cross drilling was run through. All cleco'd together for the moment, ready for priming. |
|
Then we took the legs off and put the fuse back down to a sensible level. |
|
We only had a 'half' day today, so I finished off with drilling out some of the rear fuse rivets ready for mounting the pitch servo.
|
|
The mounting plate was back drilled. The only concern is the alignment of the push rod seems a little difficult, but at the moment I think it is a 'just follow the instructions....' |
