 Posted: Fri Dec 14, 2012 12:11 pm Post subject: Mounting Aerosport panel |
 |
|
Just received my symmetrical CF panel & trying to figure out how to mount it to the existing framework. I have a quick build fuselage with the forward top skin and instrument ribs put together as an assembly, the lower F1003b brace riveted in which I'm assuming I need to remove and not use. Question is clearances at the forward edge of CF panel and CF panel sub brace and top skin. As it is the CF sits proud all the way around the sub brace. Am I suppose to remove material at top, sides and forward to allow 1) CF panel to fit flat against sub brace? 2)room for glare shield material? 3) CF panel to sit as far forward as possible?
As it sits right now the panel will cover about half of the grab holes of top skin not leaving enough room to fit fingers in.
Anyone with photos of similar phase of install or insight that could help?

I just dealt with this last month. IMHO, the easy way is to slot the
holes that the subframe mounts to the cowl deck structure by about 1/8".
A Dremel rotary file is probably the quickest, if not easiest to
control. The other option is a whole lot of nasty sanding down the CF.

I installed the non-sym standard panel. Here is a photo looking up and showing the attachment of the new substructure from Aerosport. If you haven't already, download the installation instructions. The standard Vans panel is completely replaced when you install the Aerosport panel.

Ok, sounds like a good idea to enlarge the holes to make more space around the CF panel to glare shield . I have the instructions for the panel but am not quite understanding how the depth or forward edges of panel support frame should fit to CF panel. Should frame sit "into" or "behind" CF panel? The drawing shows taking material off of support frame at the outboard edges. If it sits into the panel, the CF sits an eighth to three sixteenths proud of the frame.

The support panel screws up tight to the back of the CF panel. The support panel has to sit about 1/8" low to allow room for the CF inside the upper cowl deck. I can get you some photos tomorrow when I go to hangar.
