Step 1: Ensure that the molded
recess on all the tip fairings is square as shown in Figure
1: Use a razor blade or file to remove any material left
from the mold. Trimming the width of the molded flange may
also be required. See Figure 1 for the correct width

I used a Die Grinder to make the initial cut.

I guess it was inevitable that I screwed up a part. I cut
to much off the lip and the holes where to close to the edge
, so be careful. I discovered something in ordering a new
part, the new tip I received fit much better and was
much better quality, so they must have improved the molding
since the first ones where shipped. You can see the trailing
edge is to fat on the old one and in grinding it down I cut
through the glass and am going to have to do a build up on
it to fix it. The new tip went right on and only required
about a 1/6" adjusting

New tips I ordered where layed up much nicer.

Used a belt sander to finish and smooth the edge to 1/2"
using trail fitting to get to the mold line. |

Step 2: Trim the aft edge of the
flange on the E-912 Elevator Tip Fairing as shown in Figure
2 to remove interference between the flange and the E-1023
Elevator Trailing Edge an allow tip to be fully inserted
into the end of the elevator. |
|
|

Step 3: Match-Drill #30 and
Cleco the E-912 Elevator Tip Fairing using the holes in the
E-1001A Top Elevator Skin, E-1001B Bottom Elevator Skin and
E-913 Elevator Counterbalance Skin for as a drill guides.
Work from the front towards the trailing edged. |
|
|
 Remove the
E-912 Elevator Tip Fairing from the elevator assembly and
Deburr it.

Dimple the elevator tip attach holes in the E-1001A
Top Elevator Skin, E-1001B Bottom Skin and E-913 Elevator
Counterbalance Skin for a CS4-4 blind rivet.

Step 4: Machine
countersink the holes in the elevator tip fairing for the
dimples in the elevator skins. |
|
|

Step 5: Cleco and
rivet the E-912 Elevator Tip Fairing onto the elevator
assembly per the callouts in Figure 2. |
|
|

Step 6: Trim the aft edge
of the flange on the R-1009 Rudder Tip Fairing as shown in
Figure 3. to remove interference between the flange and the
R-1006 Rudder Trailing Edge and allow the tip to be fully
inserted into the end of the rudder. |
|
|

Trimming the width of the molded flange may also be
required. See Figure 1 for correct width.

Again used a cutting wheel on the die
grinder to make the initial cut

Using a file to make the final fit on
the Rudder fairing |
|
|

Step 7: Match-Drill #40 and
Cleco the R-1009 Rudder Tip Fairing using the holes in the
R-1001 Rudder Skins as a drill guide. Work from the front to
the trailing edge. |
|
|
|
|

Step 8: Remove the R-1009 Rudder
Tip Fairing from the rudder assembly. deburr and dimple the
rudder tip attach holes in the R-1001 Rudder Skins for a
CS4-4 blind rivet. Note again I used
the smaller rivets (MK-319-BS) Rivets and they look much
nicer. |
|
|

Machine Countersink the holes in the rudder tip fairing
for the dimples in the rudder skins. |
|
|
 |
|
Step 9: Cleco and rivet the R-1009
Rudder tip Fairing onto the rudder assembly per the callouts
in Figure 3. Note: I am going to drill
and dimple them to 3/32" and use the smaller MK-319-BS
Rivets with fits flush much nicer. |
