Feedback Please - 2022 Mooney Summit VIII - Your Likes/Dislikes
Alan Fox replied to Rick Junkin's topic in Mooney Summit
Although the theatre venue , was interesting , It was not geared for our use.... Everything else was well done -
The empty holes are huck bolts , that have been removed , We have found it easier to drill and break off the heads , as opposed to splitting the collars , once the heads are broken off , they punch out with ease... You will see on that we ground out , but it took forever , and it was surprisingly easy , to drill into the hucks... A64Pilot , great Idea for making a drilling jig , out of aluminum stock , we werte going to cut the the bottom of the L channel off to match drill it , but your Idea , is better , as far as the skin goes , when the holes for the web side are done , we will bolt it in , and match drill the skin... As far as parts go , the corroded piece appears to be a 3/4 inch piece of 7075T6 angle , so no parts downtime....

Yes , also a large number of them are huck bolts , so will be easier than bucking , using HI-LOCS to replace them , Obviously the lowers rivet to the skin...

I am no stranger to the sawzall , But this looks like it can be done without deskinning the wing , I have seen Mathissien deskin and replace sparcaps on Erics plane , with the wing on the plane , Jigged to the floor with wooden sawhorses... Very impressive...

Taking on an interesting project .. Having to replace the left forward lower spar cap , It is a piece of aluminum angle , 3/4 x 3/4 by probably 1/8 thick , It is straight , and about 59 inches long .. We are going to replace it by deriveting it , removing two outboard ribs , and sliding it out (outboard and through an inspection panel ) , has anyone ever donr this job ? planning on about 60 hours work... Any advise or info would be great... No we are not sending it outside , we repair planes.... The corrosion is at the spot where the Steel splice plates are at the second lap joint , Seems to originate from the huck bolts....

It will mount all 3 servos , but only has the complete setup for the pitch , and Roll , The roll mounts in the wing , the other 2 mount in the emp... Yaw is a waste on a Mooney
