As a finale the four temporary bolts are replaced with steel pins. Slightly oversize to ensure a tight fit, they require a very satisfying thump with the hammer to drive them home.]]> Jeroen Glazener photo Wed, 03 Feb 2010 22:32:08 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album323/IMG_1343.JPG.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album323/IMG_1343.JPG.html
To prevent the tubes from sliding sideways nylon bushes are installed on the inside. It is very difficult to get the holes in the right place, so a few mm of play is allowed. I achieve a perfect fit and am very pleased with myself.]]> Jeroen Glazener photo Wed, 03 Feb 2010 22:32:42 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album323/01012009246_G.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album323/01012009246_G.jpg.html
Once the inside has cured more araldite goes on the outside of the bushing. Here again the peroxide syringe is the perfect tool]]> Jeroen Glazener photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:39:02 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album323/31122008245_G.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album323/31122008245_G.jpg.html
Bonding in the bushes on the inside. The suspenders are to make sure the tube is parallel to the firewall and horizontal.
Having triple checked everything I was sure the plates were right way round on the torque tube. Not so. Murphy strikes again. Switched round they did not move freely in the bushings, which by that time were fixed rock hard. Judicious use of sanding solved the problem. I have since found out that araldite is easily softened with a bit of hot air and I should have done that.]]> Jeroen Glazener photo Fri, 15 Jan 2010 12:26:45 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album323/29122008242_G.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album323/29122008242_G.jpg.html
Making the main holes, large enough to fit the torque tube bushings]]> Jeroen Glazener photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:39:02 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album323/29122008241_G.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album323/29122008241_G.jpg.html
Next come guide holes for the torque tube holes. A piece of rigid wire to make sure it is all straight]]> Jeroen Glazener photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:39:02 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album323/25122008239_G.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album323/25122008239_G.jpg.html
Trimming the bulkhead to fit the rear fuselage. I cut the large hole in the bulkhead later (having missed that bit..)]]> Jeroen Glazener photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:39:02 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album323/20122008238_G.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album323/20122008238_G.jpg.html
Insert fitted, microed, laid-up and covered with peel ply. The same treatment will follow for the other side]]> Jeroen Glazener photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:39:02 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album323/20122008237_G.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Glazener/album323/20122008237_G.jpg.html
