I replaced the inner O-ring together with the outer when I assembled the whole thing few months back. Hopefully is just the outer. From the 4 holes I could already see it was in bad shape.. let's see. I wisely bought some extra O-ring as I kind of knew this was going to happen. |

The feeler gauge trick did not work for me.
If I used the very thin ones they will break apart when pulling out, if heavier then the all thing will get stuck.
I tried with a thin foil, again no way, the clearance wall to wall is 0.01mm.
So what worked is to cut 4 piecies of a PVC rod and hold them in place with a metal clamp well thighened. I tried to pull the O ring in and out and it was still brand new.

What resin was it used back in 1981 for the glareshield? Poly or epoxy? |

What is the gap within the Aileron leading edge and the wing trailing edge on the top of the wing? For -20 deg, neutral, and +20 deg?
Mine is darm close, in the original installation I could see the ailerons leading edges were scratched by it. I’m resckinning the ailerons and flaps, but without skin I can see the ribs very very close to the wing when moving the ailerons up.
Is this a frequent issue, how it is normally solved? |
