Rebel FUS-69 Bracket Attach
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 11:29 pm
Hi Terry,
I positioned, drilled, and bolted the brackets in place without ever having
the wing positioned against the fuselage. When I did fit the wings for the
first time, everything went right into place, right where it should be.
Believe me though, I made sure to measure twice, then measured again, and
again, etc., before cutting. I started the slot with a small drilled hole,
then gradually opened it to size with a file, checking the fit (and position)
of the bracket often. I slipped a scrap piece of flat .020 inside against the
bulkheads so the file teeth would not cut into them. Remember the float fix
doubler here, also.
I also drilled the fittings to Bulkhead F&G as explained by Drew in his email.
Very tight quarters!
Hope this helps.
