* Alternate way to install the torque tubes: instead of inserting the torque tubes like Figure 1 on page 40-5, instead slightly enlarged the holes in the wing roots so you can insert the torque tubes from the outside. Put both torque tubes in the freezer for about four hours. Then put the UHMW plastic blocks in the oven at 120 degrees F for about thirty minutes. Google says they can withstand up to 180 degrees. This made is SUPER easy to slide everything in. The tolerances losen up considerably between the plastic blocks and the steel tubes. Don't forget the central flap crank and make sure to position the UHMW plastic blocks before everything warms up. | * Alternate way to install the torque tubes: instead of inserting the torque tubes like Figure 1 on page 40-5, instead slightly enlarged the holes in the wing roots so you can insert the torque tubes from the outside.

* Consider deferring Step 1 until after installing the outboard flap cranks (Page 40-8, Step 1). Numerous other builders have remarked that access is limited to bolt the WD-1013 horns in the limited space. One option is to skip Step 1 on page 40-6. By not bolting the torque tubes at this time to the central crank arm, it allows you to orient the outboard horns/torque tubes in any orientation thus making bolt installation easier. | |||
