Hi guys,
Just finishing up the details on the RV7a and wondered what methods you
all used to fix the nut in the fiberglass rudder bottom to hold the
tail/strobe light on.
These are pretty small...like #4 screws (that look too short) is that
correct?
Thanks
frank

Before I cut the hole, I poured some epoxy resin in there to make the
back about 1/2" thick. Then simply cut the hole and drilled and tapped
for the screws. I'm pretty sure that I got some longer screws too. I
don't know what size but #4 sounds about right.
Godspeed,

Why not just glue the nuts to the inside of the fairing?

Please don't tell the stores in MS. It's been around $4/can every time
I've bought it. :-)

I actually saw this solution mentioned in the RVator but I don't remember
when. The solution they recommend is to drill out the hole for the light. I
think it is 1-1/8". Then insert the light with it's mounting bracket and
drill the hole above and below. Mix up a thick mixture of epoxy and cotton
flox. I use the West System so I use their micro-filler. I don't remember
the actual product number. I then put in a glop of the mixture behind each
of the small holes inside the rudder and let it harden overnight. The next
day (or next work session) drill through the holes you previously drilled,
insert the light and screw the small screws into the cured "glop". It fits
very snug and is the easiest way to do it. I tried to epoxy those little
nuts in the rudder bottom but they always stuck well to my finger and not to
the fiberglass. Also, the inside of my rudder bottom had some pieces of
fiberglass that had not bonded so it was like a thick hard shelf I couldn't
cut through.
Hope this helps. In my experience, it is the easiest way to do it. E-mail
back if I didn't explain it well.

Group,
I'm looking at drawing OP-32 and trying to figure out if the firewall
doubler used in conjunction with AN833-6D fuel line elbow fitting is on the engine
side of the firewall or the cabin side of the firewall? Can anyone help with
this?
