Attach aileron

itisgood · Post by **itisgood** » Sat May 22, 2010 7:18 pm

I have begun to attach the wing tips and I prepared to attach the aileron to the left wing to align the wing tip and there is a part that is needed that I need to fabricate. The part is made from AT6-058x5/16.It is a bushing. As I purchased the wings from someone else, I am wondering if the AT6 is material comes with the kit or do I need to order it from some company?
PS I do not have anything in my parts that even come close to looking like the part I need.
Thanks
Dave O

Thanks Chad,
It probably isn't a great task to install the part, I just did not know if it was a part of the kit and I did not get it with the wings.
I started working on the wing tips. They are coming along good.
Thanks so much,
Dave

I am thinking that probably should have come with the kit.

The -9 wing kit, which may be similar, comes with two 4-inch aluminum tubes labeled AT6-058X5/16X4.

You don't say what model of RV you are building. On the RV-6 and 6A wings those are bushings that are used to space your aileroons correctly. It is supposed to come with your kit. You will use it in making your flap connections also, it takes about four inches for each flap connection and I made a couple of extras. Therefore you probably should order enough for a complete airplane(RV) I when my quick build wings and fuselage came there was some of that material in various bags. Van's sells it in their catologue.

I am working the RV7A model. I purchased the wings finished. So I do not access to the kit pieces.
I did e-mail Vans' and they said that it was to come with the kit, but I cannot find it. So the previous owner still has it.

PS Van said that I can order it.
guess I will.

I hope the previous builder gave you the blue prints etc. You should also ask him for copies of the invoice sheets.

Dave I forgot to check on Sunday when I was at the hangar...I'm making a note now to check on Wednesday for ya...

No problem Chad, get them when you can.
the previous owner gave me blueprints and hardware, but the parts were in a generic plastic bags so the original containers were gone.
I will only find out what is missing as I continue to build. I could call him and ask if he had the parts, but as scattered as I saw the parts, I doubt if he knows, and as of this moment I really do not know exactly all to ask.
Thanks a bunch guys
Dave

Hey Dave,

I finally remembered to look this weekend, and I don't have that size. Sorry man...

thanks Chad for looking and thinking of me. I finished drilling the piano hinges on the left wing tip today. It seems that I don't get enough time to work.
