 |
|
I was drilling the holes for the landing gear and the brake lines as per the template on DWG 34A for the RV-7A. It says to enlarge the pilot
hole for the brake line as per DWG 28. DWG 28 says to drill it to 5/8" for the brake line. The problem is that 5/8" seems waay to big for the
hardware called out on DWG 36A (AN837-4D 45 deg. Elbow). I already drilled the hole to 5/8" per the plans and there is a lot of wiggle
room. Are the plans wrong on this or am I missing something???
P.S. I noticed that on another fitting (the fuel vent) it calls out 7/16" hole in the fuse skin which seems correct...

Matt,
I believe that the elbow is not attached to the skin, but rather the landing
gear mount, where the elbow fitting is inserted up the hole on the mount
with the nut on top.
The fuel vent fitting you mentioned is directly attached to the skin.

Thanks Scott. I would have never guessed that on my own and I looked at the plans many times. Thank God for these forums.
