Here is a question for somebody allready finish the tail cone ,according intructions I have to full rigged the control surfaces before connect the tail cone to the fuselage /cabin.

Will not be more logic to do this after the complete fuselage is connected ,then the full alignement will be more accurate?

in another issue ,how the elevator trim motor can be service ,or replace if is a problem with it ,from wath I can see ,need to dissy. the complete controls surfaces to acces it.do I'm wrong.

Thanks for the time the guys ahead dedicated to instruct us,

Hugo

Hugo,

    I am far from finishing but may be able to help some.  As for rigging

the controls, I think the reason you can get away with making the pushrod

tubes to final length is the kit is so consistent due to prepunching that

there is very little, if any, variance between airplanes.  Since it is so

much easier to install some components prior to attaching the tailcone and

there is no real downside then it makes sense to do so.



Regarding the pitch trim, I just installed that this weekend and had to

remove the whole assembly because I put in a piece wrong.  The lesson I

learned is that, while not much fun, you can remove the pitch trim system by

only removing the empennage fairing.  You will also have to drill out the

trim cable mounts on the elevator access panel since (at least on mine) you

can't unthread the cable with the plate attached due to elevator

interference.  Which is also why Van's has us pop rivet it on instead of

solid rivets.  The good news is you do not have to remove any major

components.



Hope this helps, there may be better answers out there.

Is this a good spot for platenuts instead of pop rivets?

I don't think the plate itself is large enough to install platenuts.  If I

were to do it over again, I would only hold the cable tiedown in place with

clecoes until I was fairly happy with the control settings and then use pop

rivets.  I also plan to get the new aluminum cable anchors mentioned here

recently.  Just me thinking out loud mostly, there are probably some better

ideas from those who have finished their machines.

I just got the new CNC cable anchors. I havn't done this yet but my plan 

is to mount them to an .032 plate that is large enough to accept some #6 

platenuts using flush rivets. I'll order new covers from Van's (already 

drilled the old ones), and then match drill the platenuts/plate to the 

new cover and then dimple the cover for #6 screws, that way the cable 

anchors should be easily removable.

btw here's a link to some pics of the CNC cable anchors

Here is a recent accident report that might be related to losing trim.� Maybe someone on the list knows more about this.

We installed the trim after the tail was completely assembled on #40241, so

you can take it off as well.  You can bend the trim cable enough to thread

the bracket on, at least we could, without drilling out the rivets.  You

should just need to take of the emp fairing, like Marcus said.



I don't see any reason why you couldn't fit all of the tail surfaces to the

cone after it is assembled to the fuse.  I am sure they have it in the plans

in that order because the EMP/CONE kit is first and that is part of it.  I

can't think of any other way.  I don't think it could be inaccurate just on

the cone, but it if it more convenient to do it later (ie, only assemble it

once when the plane it finished and painted), then I can't see any reason

not to.  ANYBODY, please let me know if there is any reason that this would

not be the case, because I am planning on doing that on #40415 as well

unless there is a good reason not to. 



On the trim motor mounting, if you want to put your ELT back there in the

tail, that trim mount can hold a couple of nut plates that will make the ELT

easier to install and remove when you get to that.  This would be much

easier to do before all of the tail surfaces are installed.

Platenuts would be great if you can get them on there somehow that would

work.  I don't know if you'd be able to get platenuts on the little

nut/bracket/plate/thingy. If you do, please send pictures.

Why not ask the person that designed these to make the base a

little larger and have it drilled for 4 - #6 screws and nutplates.  This

way it would be easily removed.



Thank You

Or leave the base a little thicker to allow for machine countersinking and

tapping the holes for a screw.

Seems like the singe-ear nutplates would work.  I've seen nutplates having 

two ears at 90deg to each other.  Seems those would work also
