Thanks for the reply J&H. I now think that the bushing friction issue will be
fine.
However, I have found that the outboard rib flange (or cap) is not going to pass
my strict inspection criteria :) so I may need to come up with a way to rebuild
the rib cap with minimal damage to the foam cores.
This may end up being the subject of a separate post but, in a nutshell, the cap
is not tight against the foam in a number of places places as the glass goes
around the corner of the cap and the glass protrudes too much over the foam.
Since I REALLY don't want bumps on the glass skins that have to be hidden by
building
up with filler then I need to do something about cutting down and replacing
the caps. The good news is that the cores are not glassed so I feel they
can be taken apart. The decision will be on how to do it to minimize damage to
the cores. I think that separating the outboard core will be easy except for
the hole for the TP4 tube because these tailplanes have the 10672 mod.
Regards,
Chris Martin
