Builders,
What is your successful method, each time when installing the finished lower
cowl with its riveted-on Airseals, getting the extended Airseals up through
the specified 3/8" gaps and onto the top side of the baffle inlet floors?
Am I missing something? (See pages 4 & 5 for parts 2 and 10, Right @ Left
Front Air Inlet Floor in Van's Cowl Baffle Kit - Installation Guide.)
Thanks,
Jack, RV-8

To Greg concerning the FL406 assembly,
If you study the plans closely you will see that there are 3 pieces to this
assembly. ( FL 406A, B & C. On plans drawing 15 ( Flap ) the veiw called "root
end veiw" the dimensions for the FL406B are called out. It is made from 2024
T3 1/8TH INCH FLAT PLATE STOCK. The dimensions are 5 13/16ths x 3 inches
tappered to the dimensions on the print. Careful study of the other 2 pieces will
reveal those dimensions. I hope this helps. You can email me directly at
philippjw54@aol.com if you need more help.

Also Greg you will notice that on the same flap drawing (drawing plans # 15 )
the top isometric view will show how the completed F406 assembly looks when
attached to the forward face of the flap spar. Remember to cut the 1/4" taper
on the inboard end of each FL403 flap spar. The 1/4" hole drilled on the FL
406B is where the rod end bearing is attached for flap operation. Building these
RV airplanes is such a rewarding experience. Just think of it this way, your
fun has just started. I really love building mine and don't know what I'll do
after completion. I suppose I just have to fly it. Oh well. Things could be
worse. I cut the lightening holes in the flap spars with a 1"1/4 Greenlee
knockout punch found at any electrical supply house. Rivet edge distance and rivet
spacing are one of the most important factors for structural integrity in the
construction of aircraft. AC 43.13-1A & 2A, Accecptical Methods, Techniques &
Practices, is an FAA engineering reference manual with a great deal of
information covering all aspects of aircraft construction. This book can be found
in
the Aircraft Spruce & Specialties catalog (part #13-11350 $18.95). Two other
books also found in Aircraft Spruce are (Standard Aircraft Handbook part #
13-11400 $23.95 & Aircraft Sheet Metal part # 13-19205 $18.95. Also all the books
by the late Tony Bingelis are a great investment part # 13-13500 $73.95. Keep
on building and one day you will be rewarded with a fantastic plane.
