Gidday,
Thanks to Richard Wheelwright, Richard Collings, and Ron Parigoris for their
replies
regarding TE Lift Pin Sockets. I had to move all 4 of my lift pin socket
plates from the sides of the fuselage, due to them being in the wrong position,
and no, my dimensions are correct. A bunch of other builders, well at least
one other, have had to move plates. So, the rear plates were extracted and moved
---From the outside due to access with the cockpit module in the way. Suffice
to say I have a buildup over the plates that whilst over the top of the plates
it is flat, as you migrate outward, I have multiple plies of cloth including
the mandatory 4 plies of BID for reinforcement. So, whilst I like curves of the
feminine sense, I hate them otherwise. I've got curves going off in all
directions
and I'm just hopeless at the trial and error of shaping ply. I have an
admission, I love car bog. Polyester resin mixed with talc. Easy to sand, easy
to shape. I am wondering if rather than ply I could apply car bog over the plate
area, shape it nicely, and then layup over the top of it. It aint going to
crack away or migrate anywhere as it is captive by the BID, and should remain
"in"compressible, certainly no more than ply. Or, if the car bog is the issue,
why not apply it, shape it, splash it, fill it with redux and flox, and redux
it back on? I can build most of the kit but when it comes to multiple fit and
sand, fit and sand, etc, I know most will think it an easy thing, but I struggle
and simply don't enjoy it. So, any other options??
Regards
Tony Renshaw
