| Subject: | Manual trim cable attachment at aft end |
--> RV9-List message posted by: "Mike Hoover" <mikehoover@sc.rr.com>
Tad,
Sounds like what Matthew was talking about. Question: Will there be a
tendency for the steel plate/nut to want to pivot on that #8 screw? If I see
it right, there will be a platenut on the top side of the steel plate and
that plate will be countersunk on the bottom for the cover plate's dimple.
Seem like this might create the opportunity for the steel plate/nut to want
to pivot, considering frequent use and vibration. Perhaps just another
preflight check point.
Just searching for answers,
Mike

Great question and timely. I offer another option. Drill the welded plate
and install a nutplate. Then you can screw on a #8. I think this allows
easier adjustment when and if needed.
Just my .02 worth.

Unlike most of you, I didn't build my RV-9A but bought it instead. It's time for
the it's first Annual since I've owned it and the local A&P at our field will
be doing it. He asked me about jacking points for lifting the plane to service
the landing gear. I've looked through the builders manual and have found
several references where you're instructed to jack the plane up while installing
and adjusting landing gear and such but haven't come across anything specifically
about where to place the jack stands when lifting the plane when it's
at it's finished weight. Can you use the tie-down threaded points or do you
have to fabicate some kind of a padded cradle or saddle for under the wing and
get it as close to the fuselage as possible? Thanks in advance. Rick Luck

Someone smarter than me may have a different view. I think the attach point
of the clevis end and the two penetration points where the cable passes
through would be enough to hold everything in its place. The rotation point may
be
on the vertical axis ie. to loosen the jamb nut, however I do not believe this
will happen. I have not installed the cable attach bolt yet however this is
just a talking point.

Rick: I've been flying my 9A almost 3 years and I jack it using the tie
down points. I use a piece of 3/8 NC all-thread about 5" long with a nut on
it and thread the all-thread into the tie down about 1.5" with the nut set
about 1/4" below the skin. My homemade jack uses a piece of 3/8" sch 40
pipe sliding inside a piece of 3/4'" pipe that is welded to the jack frame.
Note that when the all-thread is viewed from the front of the plane, it is
not verticle but assumes the angle of the wings diehedral plus 90 degrees.
I tilt my entire jack so that this initial angle is accounted for. When you
jack the wing about a foot, which is required to get a tire off the floor,
that angle increases another 3 or 4 degrees. Make sure that there is enough
slop in your system to accomodate this angle change. You do not want a
failure of this jack to result in a hole in the wing and possibly severe
damage to the aileron controls.
