Finish Kit Update January 2011 Updates January 17, 2011 Right Wing Root Fairing and Aileron Trim ..... - 3.0 hrs Finally got a break from the rain all weekend. Added the nutplates to the wing for the right side wing root fairing. After drilling deburing and riveting I screwed the fairing in place and used my 3/4 inch jig to mark the cut line. No sense in removing it today since I need to remove the flaps one more time to trim the inside by 1/32 and install the 2 nutplates on the wing trailing edge. So I got out the manual aileron trim knob fixture and installed it between the center ribs in the floor pan area. Installed the springs and used safety wire to connect the springs to the center adjustment. I may have to tighten up the wires a bit. I will start with the knob first. When you pull the stick from side to side the knob moves. This website was built to document my work in compliance with the FAA requirements needed to certify my aircraft.
