you are talking about on a quick build), the control horn from that area
(rear of root) attaches to the aileron horn on the forward portion of the
wing with a torque tube.This location is not critical as the torque tube can
be adjusted to take care of any discrepancies. Correct me if I am wrong, but
I do not see any problem. Bob J

Subject: [rebel-builders] Moose: Chap 9-4 Discrepancy????
See image uploaded to S/M 107 Fuselage: (Flap-11_bearing.jpg)
I'm finishing a (new) Moose Quick-Build fuselage (serial # 302) and mating
it (very soon) to a set of wings from serial # 142. I just posted a
picture
to area 107 S/M Fuselage documenting the following misalignment on the
aileron torque tube holes (referenced as the FLAP-11 bearing hole in
Chapter
9-4, page 12, figure.
As the uploaded image shows, the (current???) manual (Chap 9-4 date
6-25-2003) calls for 4" horizontal by 1" vertical spacing. Yet, my old
fuselage has 3 5/32" x 29/32" spacing. What's particularly disturbing is
the manual calls for 4" x 1" spacing for the hole. If the manual calls
for
4"x1" then why does a quick-build fuselage straight from the factory (in
Jan
2007) have 4 11/32" x 1 25/32" spacing?
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if this key item doesn't line up then
when I put the wings on I won't be able to bolt the wing aileron torque
tube
assembly (CC-43?) to the corresponding fuselage aileron assembly.
My sense is that I'll make the hole in the same exact location as my old
fuselage to insure that the aileron torque tube assembly in the (old) wing
properly aligns with that of the (new) fuselage. Comments please?
Can someone please explain the manual alignment vs factory quick-build
alignment mis-measurement?
Thank you,
