Inspection holes in wings

Post by bransom » Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:34 am

MAM calls for inspection holes in front of and behind where the lift strut
ties to the wing (Chapter 10.10). They didn't call for that in the
pre-1995 manual, so is it "mandatory"? I dunno. They also called out
inspect holes at the aileron hinge points, but I understand some people
don't do these because they instead use nutplates for the hinge bolts, and
theoretically will never need to get inside there. I like being able to
lay eyes on key points such as the lift strut attach structure and felt
like I might as well put the holes in for the hinge points too. On the
hinge points I left out the hole on the root or end (left or right wing)
where the hinge nuts are outside. Making the holes and getting the
doublers just right is a bit time consuming and to some extent might not be
too bad adding after the plane has been flying.

I think I may have asked this question before but for
some darn reason I can not access the rebel-list.

I am finally back in Hawaii and trying to pick up
where I left off on the wing construction and I am
wondering if it is necesary to put inspection covers
any where in the wings and where they would be
located.

Thank you,
