C. Installation
WARNING: FUSELAGE MUST BE CRADLED.
NOTE: When installing a “replacement” wing or wing section, perform Stall Warning Flight Test
Procedure, 27-30-00, upon completion of wing installation.
(1) Clean surfaces and all parts to be installed using PSS or other suitable solvent. Pay special
attention to frame area inside airplane where sealant was broken or rivets removed. Remove
all old sealant residue. Remove all corrosion inhibiting surface paint. This will ensure good
sealant grip.
(2) Place new wing on dolly and position under fuselage.
(3) Raise wing or lower fuselage over wing.
(4) Secure forward and aft wing attach bolts, each side.
(5) Align spar with frames. Drill holes. Align angles with top of spar and with frames each side.
Mark holes thru angles in top of spar each side.
CAUTION: KEEP SURFACES FREE OF METAL SPLINTERS.
(6) Remove wing attach bolts and separate fuselage from wing. Move wing away from fuselage to
work on each independently.
(7) Drill wing spar top each side for angles that attach to fuselage and frame.
(8) Use a vacuum or air hose to clean away all metal splinters in both wing spar and fuselage.
(9) Apply sealant to top spar and angles each side. Use R4 sealant.
(10) Attach angles to top spar each side with cherry rivets. (Two #6/11, two #6/9, two #6/10 and two
#6/11).
CAUTION: PROPER SEALING IS CRITICAL TO MAINTAIN PRESSURIZATION OF
COCKPIT. BE GENEROUS WITH SEALANT PARTICULARLY IN CORNERS
WITH WIDE GAPS. USE B4 SEALANT.
(11) Apply sealant to wing spar aft, forward, left and right plates and angles as shown in Figures 6
and 7.
(12) Apply sealant to canted frames as shown in Figure 7.
(13) Position wing under fuselage for installation.
(14) Lower fuselage onto wing spar. Some sealant will squeeze out.
(15) Secure wing with wing attach bolts. Install forward bolts, then aft Hi-Loks with nuts forward.
(16) Tighten forward nuts to a torque of 550 inch - pounds and tighten aft nuts (Hi-Loks) till they
shear off.
NOTE: Two people are needed to buck and shoot rivets.
(17) Clean off excess sealant with PSS solvent.
(18) Rivet canted frames to left and right aft spar. (Ten #6/9, ten #5/8, and ten #5/7.)
(19) Rivet floorboard clips to aft spar.
(20) Rivet canted frame at left forward spar. (Ten #6/9, ten #5/8, six #5/7 and four #5/8 thru
floorboard clip.)
(21) Rivet canted frame to spar at right forward spar. (Ten #6/9, seven #5/8, three #5/9 thru lower
intercostal, six #5/7, and four #5/8 thru floorboard clip.)
(22) Install five (5) rivets in angle on top of spar each side thru fuselage skin from outside fuselage.
