 |
|
Just wondering if anyone has, or is considering, replacing the Starboard
bush in the starboard wing with a nut
or threaded plate, to allow more positive location of the spars on that
side, which might also allow for easier
rigging, obviously it would need to have a diameter less than 12mm (half
inch) if the port wing bushes are to be
unchanged.

I may be misunderstanding the suggestion, but if the proposal is to introduce threads onto the main spar pins, I would suggest that treads may introduce a shear-point in the pin, weakening it substantially. I would suggest staying with the std factory smooth pins.
JMHO, YMMV, etc, etc....
Cheers,
Pete

My thought was to leave the front 80% (or so) of the original bushing
in the wing spar and then the nut or threaded plate on the back of the spar and a tapered thread on the new pin from the 12mm down just enough to allow a nice lock up of the spar into the seat back. and then set
the clearance with washers in the same way as the port side pip pin. Looking at the clearance I believe this would be do-able with a small relief in the starboard quick connect plate to allow the nut/ plate to slide past.

Craig
when you put in the front and reary lift pins you should be able to have
them locate the spar snugly in its place against the cockpit module.

Yes I have them in and it's all fine, I was just thinking a "postive"
retention of the spar/pins
etc would be safer, and give me more piece of mind, I am probably worrying
about nothing.
