The Buttons below will take you through
the different hints and tips that I feel will make your helicopter
safer and more reliable.
These
pictures are of my installation of the bushings in the bolt mounting
holes for the vertical Stabilizer.
These
are the bushings that I ordered from Aircraft Spruce to insert through
the spar for the bolt through holes.
The bushing next
to properly reamed hole so that bushing has a snug fit. I first
undersized drilled the hole and then used a reamer to increase it
slightly for the bushing.
Here is the bushing
installed in the hole through the internal spar.
The Last step, I epoxied
some stainless washers to the outside of the skin and to the bushing
to add some additional surface area for the fasteners.
Thank
you Clark for another great description of a much needed Mod to
our Rotorway Helicopters.
