INSTALLATION
(AFTER COVERING AND PAINT OF WINGS)
9.
Install Flaps and Ailerons as per parts manual.
NOTE: Flap Hinges are
placed on the root side of the Trailing Edge Spar Hinges
. Refer to
FIGURE 05D-09
.
10.
Tighten the castle nuts only to take out excessive play to avoid friction in
the hinge point.
NOTE: It may be required to use additional washers to
take out the play between Wing and Flap Hinges.
Check the Flap for free-
movement and adjust nuts if required. Install cotter pins and lubricate all
hinges with light machine oil.
HINT: With the bolt pushed in tight, the
washer next to the nut should have a slight amount of movement
.
11. Do
NOT
connect the Teleflex Cable or Aileron Push-Pull Tubes at this
time.
12.
Move Flaps up as far as possible and secure in place with masking tape.
This will expose the AFT surface of the Trailing Edge Spar for the Gap
Seal installation.
13.
The PVC Gap Seal material may be used in its natural white color. For
details about the installation, refer to
FIGURE 05D-13
.
14.
Measure the distance between the Hinges and cut the Gap Seal to length
with 45-degree
miters on each end. See
FIGURE 05D-13
.
HINT: Cut the
ends square then use a disk sander to miter the 45-degree ends.
15.
Position the Gap Seal so that it is centered between the Hinges and lined
up with the hinge line. See
FIGURE 05D-13
.
HINT: Use double-sided
tape to temporarily hold seals in position.
Where a Bolt Head will not allow
the Gap Seal to rest flat against the Trailing Edge Spar, drill a 5/8" hole to
allow clearance of the Bolt Head. See
FIGURE 05D-13
.
HINT: Place
Masking Tape between top edges of the Hinges and use a Straight Edge
to mark a line to help keep the Gap Seal straight
.
16.
With Gap Seal off of the wing pre-drill #40 each piece of Gap Seal off of
the wing as shown in
FIGURE 05D-13
. Hole and rivet locations for each
piece of Gap Seal will vary according to length. Maintain a 3/4" edge
distance on each end and an 8” to 10” rivet spacing thereafter. Maintain a
5/16" edge distance to the bottom of the Gap Seal to allow for riveting.
17.
With Gap Seals positioned on the Wing, transfer drill #40 into the Trailing
Edge Spar and cleco in place. Drill out all holes to #30. Remove the Gap
Seal, debur and remove all shavings. Install Rivets as per parts manual.
