[rebel-builders] Moose: aileron push pull tube
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 6:02 pm
I had rivets rubbing ever so slightly on one wing at the aileron end too.
Just watched it carefully at every preflight. I wouldn't go to smaller
tube. Guess it depends on how severe the rub/interference is in your case.
A smaller tube or just watch it are probably your only two options. Or,
maybe drill other holes at 45* rather than current 90* angle on the tube so
rivets do not rub?

Unfortunately no. the rivets are binding on the sides at the aileron end. I
can get adequate clearance at the torqur tube but not at the aileron.
What about using a smaller diameter tube. like raw stock 22 (3/4" vs 1")
would that be strong enough

Oh, sorry. I misunderstood. Can you add washers to one side or the other
with a longer bolt to move the tube position so it doesn't rub?

Hi Ted,
They are the tubes that are at the mid point in the wing near where the
strut attach is.

Are they--the push pull tubes--parallel to the wing & cabin (good), or
are
they running at angle (not good). Take a picture if possible, though I
suspect either your wing mount point is too long or your cabin one too
short
(or both)--shouldn't happen, though, as I don't recall any need to trim
the
wing one.

Hi Ted,
It's is the ones that are in the wing attaching tie aileron to the torque
tube.

What bulkheads...the overhead ones or outside the cabin where the one
longer
push-pull tube connects to the wing torque tube?
1" sounds right, though I'd have to go measure mine at the hangar to be
sure. I have a ton of space around my cabin push-pull tubes. I can't
imagine how your clearance is that close. The outside-cabin, longer,
push-pull tube clearance is tighter, but still plenty of space.
Post a couple of pictures to the site or email me some @ ted@vafm.org

Is the 1inch tubing the right size for the aileron push pull tube? The
clearance is extremely tight and seems to rub on the bulkheads.
