| Subject: | Re: Nuts on outside |
Another idea that came to me while walking this morning.
Cut a strip of 6061 aluminum 15mm x the length of holes along the longeron and
top skin overlap, and add 20 mm.
Clamp the strip to the longeron inboard side and backdrill the holes.
Remove the strip and flush rivet your rivnuts to the strip.
Using two sided tape stick the strip to the longeron.
Now you have rivnuts where you need them without drilling any new holes in the
longeron.

It's also much easier to service the aileron balance in the future with the
arm in it's published location. I plan to paint the wings and ailerons, and
do the final balance thru an access door in the outboard rib.

That is a great idea. After I finish adding the anchor nuts to the strip, I
may stiffen the strip with a thin piece of metal or wood. It would make it
easier to re-apply. Thanks for giving it more thought.

Damien

Damien,
Keep in mind you are messing around with a structural part of your aircraft. The
skin is what gives your ship it's strength. By drilling out the rivets along
the top forward longer's you have weakened the fuselage. You may need to add
rivets to bring back the strength but there is a prescribed method as called out
by the designer. You simply can't count on some screws to replace rivets even
if the screws are stronger.
I'm not getting a feeling that you have much experience with this kind of work.
Please run this by your ap/ia friend and see what he thinks.
