<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The aileron torque tube assemblies were fabricated this week. The aileron torque tube assemblies consist of a straight steel tube collars between powder coated torque levers\u00a0 with threaded end caps.\u00a0 The first step is insert the end caps in the torque levers and drill holes for MSP-42 rivets.\u00a0 The right picture shows before and after …<\/span> Continue Reading →<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,53],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-rv-10-build-project","category-section-23-aileron-actuation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2385"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2385\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2400,"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2385\/revisions\/2400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rv10.mirimar.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/a>The drill press, two precision V-blocks, and clamps are used to secure the cut-to-length steel tubes inserted in the longer torque levers for\u00a0 accurate alignment.\u00a0 The desired outcome is fastener bolts perpendicular to each other. Very good result.\u00a0 (I love that drill press).<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>Next the distance between the end caps is adjusted to 17 25\/32″ overall length. Before drilling through the steel tube, the angle between the levers is clocked to proper alignment.\u00a0 Here two gauge blocks are stacked to give the 5\/16″ distance to make the angle called for in the plans.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>The left picture is the drill press setup for the final bolt hole drilling.\u00a0 The completed torque tubes need to be taken apart for priming inside and out.\u00a0 This process will be done with a batch of elevator, aileron and flap pushrods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
