Hi All
I'm working on fitting the tailplanes to the torque tube (chapter 18 in the
build manual).
My starboard tailplane fits on reasonably easily but the port tailplane
will only fully engage if I "assist" it in to place with a hammer.
Removing the tailplane them becomes a 15 minute exercise involving gentle
prying. This does not seem right to me.
I'm going to check the alignment of the TP12 drive pins with the torque
tube as I suspect the pins may not be as parallel to the tube as they need
to be.
I assume I should be able to attach and remove the tailplanes without the
use of any tools.
I have attached a photo of the offending assembly in case it is not clear
what parts I'm talking about.
I'd like to know how "snugly" should the tailplane fit on the torque tube
---From those who have made it past this point in construction.
Thanks
