 Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2007 10:42 am Post subject: 601XL - Question Re. Mating Of Elevator To Stabilizer (Piano |
 |
|
I’m almost ready to fit the elevator to the piano hinge, which is already drilled / clecoed to the stabilizer. Once positioned, has anyone found a good way of “stablizing” the assembly to prevent movement while drilling and clecoing?
Thanks,

As I recall, I fit the two together on a table and after satisfying myself with the position of the hinge I used side clamps to attach the undrilled side in place and then pulled the pin out to separate the hinge halves. I then drilled the hinge starting in the middle and working towards the ends, clecoing as I went. When finished I chose to store the elevator and horiz. stab separately so I just slipped the pin back in one side of the hinge.

To anyone following this thread, I gave Dave bad advice. Once I went out to the shop and looked at the elev / stab I realized that side clamps could not be used in that situation. Dave and I have since communicated about it but as I now recall I used tape strips to hold the hinge in place once the proper location was established.
Next time I'll be sure before I open my big mouth and give advice.
