murphy-rebel Digest for 10 Jun 2000

Post by Ralph Baker » Fri Feb 17, 2012 5:56 pm

Just left it open. Did not consider a doubler as this looks like a
relatively unstressed area. Do debur carefully however. The hole is out
of any windflow which would blow trash inside and there are other openings
around the plane that are not secured. I did consider a plastic hole plug
(see your home supply or hadware store) if I do decide to plug against mice
or the mud dauber wasps we are blessed with here in the South.

Mr. Baker,

You wrote: "My solution, confirmed by Murphy,
was a 5/8" hole located at the "V" in the stabilizer. A short 3/8"
socketwith universal can access all 4 of the hinge bolts for torque
checking. "

What covers the hole? and did you put a doubler behind it or no?

Thanks for your help.

Brian,
Maybe you'll get a chance to exercise your trim servo if you can
come on the Ramble !! ;-)

We certainly will have a LOT of camping gear & 'stuff' for this
one !! But, you're right - even with that load, it only takes a couple
of taps on the trim button, and then we leave it alone ... Isn't this
GREAT ??!! (not at all like a CessPool) :-)

Hi Bob

Nobody has had a problem yet with the trim tab servo because it goes so
long
without use. I know I am just kidding you, but seriously, in most
flight
situations with just varying fuel loads and passengers, the trim has
been of
little value. As Wayne points out, with a great deal of baggage i.e. a
lot
of weight aft, it may come more into play. I have not experienced this
yet.
Regards

Roger,
Most builders here have decided to add inspection covers later,
IF and WHEN they are needed. The trim tab servo is usually mounted on
a separate plate, so it can be removed easily, if needed. (nobody has
had a problem yet ...)

I'm about to finish the horizontal stabilizers and was wondering if
anyone
recommends (or not) putting an access/inspection plate in the bottom
skin
to
access/inspect the bolts/nuts of the (inner) elevator hinge, rear
stabilizer
attach bracket, and the strut attach bracket?

Thanks,
