Nynja Build Manual 1.4d
IMPORTANT: tubes must not be visibly deformed.
Figure 10 Left - WRONG
– squashed tube, thread in tube. Right – RIGHT – tube still round,
thread stops in washer(s).
Every wing nut has to be fastened by a security ring
or aviation ‘nappy pin’.
Nyloc nuts should be used only once.
When cutting bolts short, a minimum of two threads should protrude from the nut.
Paint the cut end to prevent rusting.
Bolts subject to rotation should be drilled and locked with a split pin. Examples
include stick pivot bolt, torque-tube pivot bolt, rudder link bolts.
Wire-locking
Certain parts require securing with lock-wire, such as engine bolts and turnbuckles. If
you have not done this before, discuss how to do it with your inspector. A basic guide
to wire-locking bolts and turnbuckles is included at the end of this manual.
Stainless-steel parts
A number of tubes have flattened steel end-
fittings which may require slight “tweaks”
to align them as required. This should be done carefully in a vice, with wooden jaw
pieces to protect the surfaces.
Avoid bending the parts back and forth repeatedly, and avoid bending them at
the hole position.
The finish on the stainless-steel parts is quite varied. If desired these parts can be
polished to a shiny finish, although those positioned in the p
ilot’s line of sight may be
covered in anti-reflection black coatings or plastic sleeving if desired. Scotchbrite
pads can be used to provide a pleasing, even, cosmetic finish.
Coverings
Handle the coverings with care, pay attention to the risk of bolt heads, corners and
reinforcements/stiffeners damaging the covering as it is put on.
Dacron coverings need care to avoid getting dirty and becoming stained. Keep your
hands and tools clean and oil-free when working with or near these coverings.
