 Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2022 7:48 pm Post subject: Andair fuel valve install |
 |
|
I'm installing an Andair FS20 fuel valve in a virgin cockpit module in
an XS trigear, to LAA mod SM13342, mounted on the improved access
position. The original valve access panel conflicts with this mod, so I
have reshaped the access panel to be lower and rectangular, see photos,
so access is still available for roll pin insertion, can anyone see any
issues with this proposed access panel shape ?

Hi Brian
I just completed installing my cowl access covers. I used an American Quarter for the radius of my corners which seems about the same as you have laid out. I used an Xacto mini vertical saw to cut out the radius and a mini model back saw to cut out the straights. Very thin cuts. Anyway if I were to do it again would use minimum of a UShalf dollar or better a silver dollar radius. It may save you some tedious fill after you fail to follow line as close as you anticipated.
That said "when" you need some fill, JB KWIK Weld is pretty strong, sands good enough and if you catch it after about 10 minutes with a sharp knife, it slices like leather. I needed to fill the edges on my covers and the JB KWIK worked great. I added some 3/4 oz Model cloth over the rivets and filled edges of cover to support better.
