Step
4 first calls for deburring the VS-1008 Rear Spar Doubler. This
piece has some pretty jagged edges on it so its off to the bench sander
again. A dremel tool with a small sanding wheel seemed to handle
the interior cutouts ok. The Scotch-Brite wheel handled the
finishing touches on the outside edges very nicely, but the inside
edges were done by hand... probably have to find another method for
that...

The deburred VS-1008 Rear Spar Doubler
|
After
deburring the Rear Spar Doubler, we got to cleco again. This time
it was the whole Rear Spar assembly including the Hinge Doubler called
out in Van's Service Bulletin SB 06-2-3 (VS-1003, VS-1008, VS-1014-L
& R, VS-1010, VS-1011, VS-1012, and VS-1017)
|
We
then used a #30 drill and final-drilled all the 1/8" holes in the
VS-1008 Rear Spar Doubler, the Rear Spar Caps, and also the holes in
the Rudder Hinge Brackets and the new holes in the VS-1017 Hinge
Doubler. Step 5 had us using a 3/16" drill to match-drill the
upper attach bolt holes into the Rear Spar Caps.

Ahhh, a new toy to play with...
Step 6 has us countersinking all of the #30 holes below the upper
attach bolt holes. Since the microstop is new, it took some time
getting it setup for just the right depth. Once done, the
countersinking went pretty quick. Alright! done with page
1... Progress!!
