Get out your trusty tap - I run a tap through a lot of the plate nuts for
problems like that one or the many plate nuts that seem to be a little
distorted. It will thread the spar a little if needed.

> This afternoon I began mounting the elevators to the HS so I could drill
the elevator horns where they bolt to the center bearing on the HS spar.
The right elevator went on fine but when I went to install the rod end
bearings into the left elevator one of them wouldn't start. It acted a bit
like it wanted to cross thread. On closer examination I noticed that the
K1000-6 platenut isn't quite centered perfectly on the holes in the spar ant
the E-910 Hinge reinforcement plate. It's real close to being centered but
not quite - apparently just barely enough to keep the rod end bearing from
getting started. I'm looking for a simple solution and I'm not finding one.
Has anyone encountered and solved this problem?

Larry, thanks for that, I'll try it your way and go for the best fit of rear skirts
to the turtle deck.
Tim, my canopy fitted really well for most of the top centre tube, but like yours
it was gappy every where else, but with a lot of heaving and pulling it's OK
now. I don't know if it's my imagination, but it seems to have relaxed into
a better, less stressed fit after about a month of working on it. I seem to have
taken it off and clecoed it on again hundreds of times. Now I've nearly finished
and it all fits rather well, I think I may have worried about it a bit too
much.!

Well, I tried sticking my little electric heater under it
today but it has a thermostat and refused to turn on...
so I put it out in the sun for about 3 hours. It only
got to about 100 deg. here in Phoenix today, but it was
enough to "relax" the plexi a bit.
So I put a whole bunch of spring clamps on to hold it
together and started drilling. Seems to have gone OK -
no cracks or anything.
Thanks,
- Tim.

Tim
Put it back out there after you get it all tied down and let is stress
relieve a bit. Just like steel, a little heat takes away a lot of
internal stresses.
