I did a lot today - being America's Birthday and all!
- I drilled holes for the Pitot / Angle of Attack tubing - one hole in each rib was already there, but (for some reason) I still needed to drill the other one...Bummer. This was a little difficult and I ended up using the deburring bit as a drill bit. It is 3/8" which nicely fits the extension bit, so I was able to drill thru the 4 inner ribs as well as the outer ribs using the angle drill. This worked as I had some SB-435-4 snap bushings (1/4" ID, and 3/8" OD) which fit a slightly different hole than the SB-437-4 (1/4" ID, and 7/16" OD). Otherwise I would have had to wait and order a special drill bit.
- I deburred the newly drilled holes and applied primer with a small paint brush
- I fit the Pitot/AoA bracket and installed the aileron busing and left aileron bell crank after sliming the bushing with aeroshell 22 grease - then torqued all the nuts.
holes drilled, primed and snap bushings installed
left aileron bellcrank w/ bracket and nuts torqued
