 |
|
I had an unexpected wrinkle crop up in my building process and I figured I'd
pass it on in case it saves anyone else some headaches.
I've been building my project in my garage and things were great until about
a few weeks ago. I went to the garage for some much anticipated RV-10
building and much to my dismay; the garage door opener wouldn't open the
garage.
After some research I realized one of the garage door springs had failed and
I needed to replace the springs.
The problem was that my normal building process at this stage was to densely
pack the garage when not working on the plane, and to open the garage door
to move idle things out of the way when engaged in building.
Unfortunately, I hadn't considered the consequences of failed door springs
and the fuselage and wings were blocking access to the springs for
replacement. With the door inop and the garage tightly packed, rearranging
the garage to accommodate this was problematic to say the least.
So to those fellow builders with a small densely packaged garage such as my
own, you might want to give some thought where you position the major
sections of your RV-10 in relation to the garage door mechanisms before
closing that garage door.
Hopefully no one else has to go through what I just did! It wasn't fun.
