 |
|
after inspecting the pieces of the mark 3 extra kit I just purchased, It looks like the previous owner fitted the rudder and stabilizer on one end. then must of figured something wasn't right and took it off and fitted to the other end. so there are rivet holes it the end of the tube that attaches to the fuse. does any one see a problem with using the tube? any structural issues, not to worried about cosmetics as it looks like all the holes will be inside the cage. some have rivets put back in the holes

Could it be that the holes were drilled for the forward attachment, and then dis-assembled so that the cage could be painted? Can you post photos?

I'll take a few pics tomorrow, but the holes are in the same spot on both ends of the tube , and the number of holes match the other end with the tail on it.
Also it is a mark 3 Xtra, not extra, as I seem to have offended at least one member, and I figured out how to attach a signature to my messages.
Please bear with me as I go through the newbie stages, I will try to look like an expert by tomorrow. Wait that won't work, looks like I'm gonna be a newbie for a while yet, sorry.
hope my signature attaches

how far are the holes from the end of the tube.... if they are within 1 inch of the end.... cut it off and drill new holes for the mounting ring to the cage.
does he have the hols drilled for the H section???? any extra holes in the area of the H section would be of greater concern to me.... i dont remember drilling any holes in the boom tube till i was ready to rig everything to the cage.
hope this helps

they are above the H-brace position, but definitely on top of the front of the H-brace.

AJ,
It looks like they might have been the holes for the forward attachment of the vertical and horizontal stabilizers. Maybe the tail was out of plumb so he swapped ends to try again?
