Hi! William
Please don't consider me an authority but in the absence of any one else
replying ....!
I'm bemused by question 1?
Do you mean the rear lift pin locking pip pin is vertical?
If so, you get it out by pulling it vertically upwards and you will need
to cut a hole eventually through the wing to fuselage fillet fairings so
at this stage you will need to relieve it's clearance through the
inboard upper surface of the wing closeout which when the fairings have
been fitted you may well need to open out . The pip pin travels
vertically or parallel to the rib. The lift pin is "normal" to the root
closeout rib.
2. Have you used a no 3 plug thread tap all the way into the hole ?
because it sounds to me the threads aren't tapped deep enough? Otherwise
try freezing the pin it may shrink it a "nats".

Bob Harrison G-PTAG

Subject: Europa-List: Setting the wing incidence
I am embarking upon the wing incidence operation with some trepidation.
I have armed myself with a digital level.
A couple of perhaps dumb questions
1. The rear lift pin is vertical. If this is correct do you have
to cut out a slot in the root rib to get it in an out?
2. One of my front pins won't go in all the way - still has about
4 threads showing. The other one goes in all the way. How do I get a
grip of the damn thing to screw it in short of taking the mole grips to
it or cutting a slot in the top for a screw driver?
Does anyone have any "gotchas" that they can warn me about?
Thanks
Will
