| Subject: | Attaching upper leg intersection fairing |
In section 48 Gear Leg & Wheel fairings, on page 48-12 Figure 1, to attach the
leg gear upper intersection fairing, the plans call for "screw #6 x 1/2 SS SMS
3 Places". I assume these are Stainless Steal Sheet Metal Screws. I can't
find them listed in the hardware listing and going through all my packages,
I can't find anything resembling sheet metal screws.
For those who have already passed this point, did Vans provide these screws? I
know I can get them locally but no need to get dups if they were provided and
I have over looked them.
I know some have gone to nutplates in all 4 locations but I am not sure if I can
get to the inside for the 3 fuselage locations to try to add nut plates.

Gary,
I installed some mounting points called Nut-Serts for those screws. They
install from the outside. Then you can use a machine screw. Just be
careful however you mount them. Fuel and brake lines are just above.

I installed Click-Bond nut plates. They can be installed pretty
easily from the inside. Riv-Nuts or Nut-Serts would be another option.

If you want to use nut plates, one way to do it is the following:
1. Get 2 pieces of small diameter wire about 18" long. I used welding wire, but
hinge pin material works also.
2. After drilling the rivet holes for the nut plate, insert one of the wires in
each rivet hole. This can be done from either inside or outside the fuselage.
Slide the nut plate down over both wires till it bottoms out on the fuselage
skin.
3. Install a machine screw in the nut plate to hold it firmly to the skin. Remove
one wire and install a blind rivet; remove the other wire and install second
blind rivet.
As others have mentioned, Rivnuts or Nutserts work well also.

And if you really want to prevent some aggravation, clean the nut-sert
and the aluminum around the hole and use some red Loctite or JB-weld on
the nut-sert before you squeeze it. Use anti-sieve on the screw. This
way you won't have the problem of turning the nut-sert when you remove
the screw.

Thanks all for the quick replies. I just ordered some nutserts from AC after I
called Dave and discussed a plan of attack.

For those who will be going with a more budget-level panel and might
be considering a Dynon EFIS and Autopilot, I just installed the Dynon
servos today and will be test flying it tomorrow. I will report on
how well it handles the plane, especially compared to the TruTrak line
that I am very familiar with. The installation of the servos was very
simple and the wiring was even easier. I am impressed so far. Now
we'll see how it flies.

| Subject: | Wing Installation and wing bolts |
Trying to get the wings fitted in the next 1-3 days.
I see that you have to do the installation twice to get the fairings done properly.
On the first installation - Should I use 2 or 4 of the 3/8 temporary bolts
per wing? Vans says that two are ok , but elsewhere in this site four were suggested
Any suggestions for getting the VERY TIGHT -high tolerance bolts in the wing. I
do not have a super cold freezer at the airport. Would dry ice work or is that
too cold - possibly causing damage to the bolts from the extreme cold.
All comments and suggestions appreciated
