| Subject: | Aileron piano hinge question |
For all of you guys who have used piano hinges for your ailerons:
I am installing my aileron hinges now. As many of you have (correctly)
advised, because the top of the aileron spar is beveled, I made sure
that I placed the attachment bolt/screw holes far enough down to give
clearance on the back side of the spar for the nuts/nutplates. I put
them at what I thought was the minimum distance down, only 3/8" from the
top of the rear face of the spar. I placed the hinge so that the top of
the hinge is flush with the top of the wing (i.e., the top of the rib
capstrips.
All of this being said, set up as I have it this ends up with the
attachment screws a LONG way from the hinge point, something just over
1", and very near the edge of the hinge (I opted to buy 3" wide hinges
(1.5" per side), wider than most on here, because I saw this as a
potential problem). Does this bother anyone? I am wondering about the
potential for the hinge to bend away from the aileron spar because of
the distance between the hinge line and the line of screws. Of course,
because the spar is angled, the screws are pretty much in shear anyway,
so it may not be a problem.
The solutions I see are (1) move the hinge down lower so that it is
below the top of the wing. This could, I suppose, cause a clearance
problem between the opposing capstrips. (2) I could use a wider hinge
on the aileron half, which would give more edge distance between the
bolt hole and the edge of the hinge. This would not do anything about
keeping it from bending, if that is a real problem.
So, how far down on the hinge are the screws for most of you guys? And,
how low/high do most of you have your hinge mounted?
Thanks,
Gene

Thanks, Mike.
Looking at your photo, I see exactly what I was wondering about. See
how close the screws are to the edge of the hinge? If it is not a
problem, I don't want to create one. If your hinge is only 3/4" wide,
then the nutplates on the back must be pretty close to the top of the
spar, too?
I also meant to ask about spacing. I used 8" spacing which gives 10
screws in the 6' long hinge. This looks to be about what you used too.

Ala Tony Bingelis's books just like the aileron hinge idea from what I reca
ll.
I also used piano hinge to neatly secure my aft-opening aluminum luggage/ca
rgo wing
center section covering---photo to follow in next e-mail.
Mike C.
PS-- Bingelis has some GREAT advice on how to build cowlings lightly and ST
RONG.
He really has some excellent tips to help you save weight and make removal
and
installation reasonable. More tabs and fasteners on the cowling are not n
ecessarily
better--nor a heavier grade of aluminum. All of my sheet aluminum is 2024
T3 .024"
thick.

No kidding about the gorilla tape... that stuff is strong. I put a couple of wraps
around a crate that I shipped recently. When it was returned, one of the
panels (sides) was broken loose, but the gorilla tape hung in there and kept
the crate together. None of the contents were damaged.
Tough stuff indeed... I will be replacing my normal stash of Army green "100 mph
tape" with gorilla tape.

Gene,
I don't think it's a problem. Mine are pretty far from the hinge line and I
haven't had any problems with them. I don't have any very good pictures of
that area, but here is a picture of the aileron being covered, and you can
see how far the screw holes for the hinges are from the edge:

Jack, is your TE metal? It looks pretty shiny, and I don't see any gussets at
the ribs... is that aluminum sheet? Maybe the light hit it just right to shine?
Great to see all the aileron talk... I am also getting ready to cut and hinge mine.
The hinges and hardware showed up yesterday.

Yes, my trailing edges are aluminum, one of the changes from the plans I
wish I had not made.
Problem is, I made my ribs with the trailing edge ending with a 1/4" flat,
instead of coming to a point. When I installed the metal trailing edges, I
nailed them to the ribs, but as the fabric shrank it slowly pulled the
trailing edges forward on the ribs, creating a neat little pucker at each
rib, on the top and bottom of the wing along the trailing edge. No way to
fix it without recovering the wing. It took about a year after finishing
the airplane for this to show up.
Build it to the plans - you'll be happier.

As I recall, I used # 8 aircraft grade (MS24694-S11, I believe) screws,
going into self locking nutplates. As Mike mentioned, the self-locking
nutplates are so aggressive that you will round out the head of the screw
before you ever get it tight, so I ran a # 8-32 tap through the nutplates
before attaching the hinges.

Dad used hardware store "T"nuts with #8, or#10 screws.- He put a dab of t
-88 on the backs of the t nuts to hold them secure.- No problems so far,
and we have had to take them off-2 or 3 times-now for trailering (count
ing it's first ride to the airport).--

Hello Group, I am starting to do some planning for my Ohio Piet
fly-in this June. I am trying to figure out how many plan on flying in,
or driving in. My proposed date is Saturday June 19, the day before
father's day. If people want to tent camp thats fine with me, however I
do not have room for big rv's. I am planning on having people bring a
dish to pass (pot luck style) if able. I will probably just go and buy
dogs and burgers. I have a big dinning canopy and will get some tables
and chairs so we can get out of the sun, and will get the hanger cleaned
up as well. Don I know you mentioned wanting to camp out, and possibly
flying down on friday afternoon, that is fine with me. I am also
pricing out turd closets (port-o-johns), so let me know asap who plans
on attending and I will get er done.
Shad

Who let "The Fisherman" back on this list? None of
that stuff is STC'd, AN-quality, listed in "Acceptable
Practices" AC43-13, or anything else! A guy and his
airplane could both come to harm! ;o)

Everyone keep in mind that EAA 82 will also be having their annual
"Wings and Wheels" Fly-in in early June (probably the 1st weekend in
June) at Barber Airport (2D1), another great grassroots event in NE
Ohio. Lots of vintage aircraft & cars, grass strip, more than a few
Piets, and a great deal on breakfast (the important stuff).

Hmm...
A covered dish, huh? With the wing baggage compartment filled with a tent, air
mattress, pillows and tie downs and the front pit filled with one of the kids
with a backpack and sleeping bags on his or her lap, looks like I'll have to
swing by McDonald's on the way and load my pockets with ketchup packets. Count
me in for the condiments!
I'm planning on Friday.
I'll pitch in for the burgers and turd closets too!

Don, Covered dish may mean purty wimmin in hats. Shad, have you priced
the turd closets? I wrote a check for about $2k for the Brodhead Biffys
in September. I think they should be named Shad's Shat Shacks.

Wow! seems to be some real enthusiam for this little get togeather.- Bein
g that aircraft parking will be limited to about 6-8 aircraft behind my han
ger, we might have to park the "non piets" down by the t hangers.- Not a
problem though, I will let you all know what the parking arrangements are a
s time get closer.- I will make sure Bill See doesn't mind parking a few
aircraft at the t hangers and just walk down to my hanger for the shin-dig.
- Also my neighbor probably won't mind us using his back yard which will
double the parking, I'll just have to voulenteer to take his turns mowing t
he runway this year.

What have I got myself into!

For all you wing builders, I am planing on building my wings (3-piece)
completely then take the fittings off to varnish the wood. Is this ok
or is this going to screw something up?
