 Posted: Tue Aug 22, 2006 5:34 pm Post subject: One of them dreaded questions |
 |
|
I'm currently in California getting my LSA repairman maintenance rating. This afternoon we were doing some fabric work and the instructor pulled out a wing from a crashed Ultrastar. My first reaction when looking at the wing root fittings was shock. Compared to my Mk III and Firestar it seemed the swivel and the spar follow through fitting had been installed backward. Donnie at TNK couldn't answer my question (you don't have TNK on speed dial?) and we both agreed if anyone could it would be John H. After some reflection I think everything might be per Homer, but I'm still interested in learning the answer.
Thanks guys,
Rick

Rick...
I'm not sure this is what you're asking about, but the Ultrastar wing pivots on the front fitting, not the rear fitting like all the other Kolbs do...

David, Like I said, I figured it was per Homer even though it looked so odd
at first glance. Just trying to expand my knowledge base. The link doesn't
work, but thanks for responding.

Regarding "blank messages", it may not be just Verizon. I have Adelphia.net cable connection and several messages show up with headers but no content. Of course that could be sender error too. Not suggesting it is, just another possible cause.

Maybe this depends on the year the UltraStar was built? When I bought my UltraStar in 1994, it came with a set of blueprints dated 1984 that show the wings hinged on the front fitting, but the plane is built with the wings hinged on the rear fitting. Picture here of the wings folded:
