| Subject: | Removing White Vinyl Protective Material |
Guys,
Do you have good shortcuts for removing this stuff?
I have material on the leading edges of both wings.
I've been using a heat gun with a tongue depressor
that has been squared off and sharpened on sander.
The project is slow - I can removed 1/4 to 1/2 wide strip
with each pass. The wood does not scratch the aluminum
but there is a very thin adhesive film still on the wing. I
plan to use MEK outside later this spring to remove the residuals.
(It's -10 here in MN this morning.)
The archives haven't yielded any good suggestions...
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Don't know if the white is any worse than the blue, but for the blue I
use a tip I found on a RV list ..... I'm on a couple .... use a length
of PVC pipe and just roll the plastic up on it. I used a piece of 1/2"
and just rolled one piece on top of another ..... no heat. You do have
to lift an edge to get it started though.

Mark,
Well, after three days I have the hinges riveted to the wing, the tips
trimmed and sanded and the hinges bonded and riveted to the right wing tip.
Then, I ran out of 206 hardener...
I still have not been able to find some 0.50" UHMW block for the pin
retainers. Any suggestions?

| Subject: | Routing Elevator Trim Tab Servo Wires |
Greetings:
Looking for a better solution than routing the Trim Tab Servo wires thru the hole
in the Elevator Spar (where the long Servo Motor Screw goes).
Does anybody have any pictures or diagrams of the Wire Routing of the Trim Tab
Motor wires in the Elevator to the Horizontal STABILIZER to the fuselage.
Not much given on this subject on Matronics.
Thanks, Garey Santa Monica, CA

Hi Garey,
I just did this task. I simply drilled a 1/4" hole above the servo screw hole
and added a little black plastic bushing. Attached is a picture.
