 |
|
Could anyone please tell me if they have opted to use nut plates when installing the fibreglass elevator and rudder fairings in lieu of pop rivets to allow future removal with ease?
If anyone out there has used nut plates, can these be glassed into place in lieu of using flush rivets to attach the nut plates to the fibreglass fairings. Likewise has anyone attached nut plates to the wing tip fairings using glass in lieu of rivets?

We used nutplates on the rudder bottom fairing, since the lights are down there. We used rivets to hold them in then built up a little bit of flocks around the nutplates to strengthen them.

I just did mine using nutplates. I used soft rivets to set the nutplates with.
The thing to be careful of is having the nutplates perpendicular to the edge...or the screws will be crooked.
Two ways to do this that I know of:
Glass in a plate of aluminum at the correct angle (you could have the nutplates set in the aluminum prior to glassing - but I wouldn't)
Bend the ears of the nutplate so they can go in fulsh to the surface and the threads end up at the correct angle.
Been there done that...last weekend!

Ralph, I am having trouble visualizing this. Can you explain a little more or maybe a pix?
