Hi Guys,
Looking for any GOOD suggestions. Here's the problem...
Just finished my RV7 tail kit and was installing the rod end bearings for
the right elevator, when to my surprise I found one of the nutplates (center
one on the right elevator) has NO threads in it!!
Please don't tell me I should have checked them - I already heard
that...from Van's! Who'd a thunk to check those things. After building 3
tail kits, and 1 flying RV6, I've never seen a nutplate with no threads.
Anyway, Van's is still searching for some other answer short of
dissasembling the elevator. If that's the case I'll just build another one
from scratch.
If you have any bright ideas, feel free to let me know!
Just my typical luck, if there is one nutplate in every 2 million that
doesn't get threaded, I'll end up with it!
Cheers,
Stein Bruch

Boy Stein, that sucks, sorry. You could do an small access plate on the
underside to get at it.

Why don't you tap it. I wouldn't be self locking but you could use a
head drilled bolt and safety wire it.

My thought, too. In fact, isn't there a check nut on the rod end bearing that
locks it into place? Furthermore, how would it rotate anyway with an AN3 bolt
going through it? I suspect the internal threads are cut with some sort of tap
in
manufacturing, so this seems workable to me.

I am building an RV-8A and am just finishing deburring the wing ribs. I need to
drill holes to run the conduit for the wing tip lights. Anyone out there who
could tell me what conduit worked the best and the location they used to run
it throught the W-711-R/L inboard wing ribs?

Jim:
I had a QB -8A and just got the black conduit Van sells. I routed it through the
rib lightening holes just forward of the rear spar. You don't need to drill
anything other than maybe small holes for tie wraps to keep it from bouncing
around. I ran wires through the conduit out to
the end for nav lights, landing light in each wing and strobes and one more for
pitot heat in the left wing. The existing tooling holes near the front spar
were about right for plastic grommets I used to run coax out there for marker
beacon and nav/gs antennas in one wing tip and
the com 2 antenna in the other.
