| Subject: | Mounting the aileron |
--> RV7-List message posted by: "Bob Collins" <bcollins@visi.com>
Folks:
I'm just about finished with the wings and am just tidying up before
slapping on the bottom skins. This afternoon, I figured I'd grease up the
bellcrank bolt and finish that whole scene. The ailerons and flaps lined up
very nicely. I did have to use the Dremel tool to enlarge the hole in the
rear spar (mostly topside) to keep the pushrod to the aileron from catching
any of the rear spar. Now, the one thing I did notice after completing that
is that at some point in the down travel (aileron down), that pushrod hits
the outboard edge of that hole in the rear spar....and that hole is right up
flush with the aileron bracket.
I'm just wondering if that's normal and is actually beyond the down limit
of the aileron (I figure there ARE aileron stops to be installed somewhere
but it doesn't seem to be on the wing plans that I can see) or whether this
is indicative of a problem.
Regards,
Bob
St. Paul, Minn.

Up travel on the other aileron is gonna limit down travel on that aileron.
But if, once all the controls are connected (in other words don't bother
now), you still have a clearance issue, just dremel the hole out. Or dremel
it out now that access is easy.
My point is that until it's all rigged you may not know what you need
range-wise. Or just use the specs Van's spells out in the book. If you can
hit the spec before the pushrod rubs the hole, you'll most likely be fine
(double check once it's all installed together).

Hi folks,
Working on the HS
I just finished drilling the HS-405 thru theHS-702 and then 714 and 710
reiforcement bars. That came out fine. When drilling the HS-405 thru the 702 and
the HS-404, one of the holes came out too close to the edge of the 404 flange.
Remeber the one that had to be cut to fit between the reinforcement bars? I
got about one rivet diameter from the edge, if that. What do you suggest? Should
I move toward the center 3 rivet diameters from the offending hole and put in
another hole. If so, should I fill the bad hole with a rivet too? Or should I
order another 404. Thanks for your help. Its a real Bummer

The answer is probably: move on and forget about it (5 bucks says that's
what Van's says). Do you have a photo?
do not archive
