Step 1:Separate
the sixteen E-1008 Elevator Ribs into individual parts by
removing the material shown in Figure 1. Deburr all edges.
|
|
| Step 2:Deburr
the edges of all elevator parts. |
|
|

Step 3:Cleco
all the E-1008A & B Rib halves together as shown in Figure
2. This is the correct orientation of the rib halves, and
will insure proper hole alignment when they are attached
to the skin. 
Using
a #30 drill, final drill the four common holes of the rib
halves. Label each half so that they will remain paired
together throughout the construction of the elevators. |
|
Step 4: Make sure the
flanges of the E-903 Outboard and E-904 Inboard Tip Ribs,
shown in Figure 3, are bent 90 degrees. Adjust them with a
hand seamer if necessary. |
|
Step5: Straighten the
E-903 and E-904 Tip Ribs by fluting between the prepunched
holes in the flanges Check the matching holes in the E-913
Counterbalance skin. (note this
required quite a bit of work. The art of fluting needs to
be practiced and my first attempt did not meet Bill's
approval and he worked with me quite a bit on it till it
was near perfect. You can force the clecos to make
things fit but that's not good , you need to continue to
take the piece out and work on it till when you slip it in
the holes should line up with no forcing them. A lesson
hard learned on my RV-7 tanks they require some practice
and take your time and get them right.) |
|
Step 6: Make two Tip
Rib Assemblies (one for each elevator) by clecoing
together tje E-903 and E-904 Tip Ribs and the E-913
Counterbalance skin as shown in Figure 3. Remove any vinyl
from mating surfaces before clecoing.
|
|
Final Drill the common 1/8" holes in the rib
webs using a #30 drill |
|
|

Drill the common 3/32" holes in the rib flanges
and counterbalance skin using a #40 drill. Do not drill
the line of holes around the counterbalance skin which do
not match-up with a rib, or the holes in the top and
bottom of the counterbalance skin indicated by the circle
in the figure |
|
|
|
|
Final-Drill the three 3/16" holes at the front
of the ribs with a #12 drill. |
|
Step 7: Separate the
four E-1022 Shear Clips by removing the material shown in Figure
4. |
|
Final Drill all the holes in the shorter flange of
the shear clips with a # 30 drill, then deburr the haoles
and any unfinished edges
