 |
|
I am in the process of doing the wing tie bar.
I followed the book religiously and note that it tells you to put in the
gear legs and the ribs that support them.
Two questions
1. how do you deal with the tie bar and the gear support ribs. The manual
tells you to allow for the tie bar with an angled depression in the ribs.
Does this weaken the uni which goes along the top of the ribs? Also there
does seem to be enough space to angle the rib around the tie bar.
2. the ply block between the cockpit module and the tie bar has to be
fiberglassed to the cockpit module - after the gear legs. So I am assuming
that the bid goes over and wrapped around the gear legs. Am I right?
How did anyone else do this?
Will
PS I note with slight worry that the rear wing attachment pin is vertical
with respect to the wing chord but not with respect to the fuse. Is this
all right?

Will, you will have to trim down the forward braces to accommodate the
tie bar. Easiest way would be to start by glassing in one of the rear
braces, to hold the LG socket secure, then fit the remaining braces,
making allowances for the tie bar, before glassing them into place.
This will still produce a very strong LG.
Good luck and keep everyone informed of your progress...

Hi I was advised by Nevel Ayres to first complete the reinforcement of the
cockpit on both sides, then cut and shape the 4 ribs for each undercarriage
leg using some stiff cardboard to make templates. And then cut the top of
the one rib on each side lower than the others so that it just clears under
the tie bar when fitted. The final stage where you cover the top of all the
ribs with uni is extremely difficult if there are too many curves for the
uni to be wrapped round.
When you have completed the installation of the ribs [About 40hrs work]you
can move on to fitting the tie bar blocks and the tie bar.
