----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Coupers,
Remember my terrible left rolling tendancy on my first flight last
month?
Well the shop that did the work for the seller has the plane and is fixing
it for me. I asked for an update today and heres what I got, please let me
know if this is OK.
Thank you all,
Bob
>>>>>From the Shop:
We measured both front and rear wing attach points relative to each other
and found that the left rear was in fact about 3/4" higher than the right.
We then went back inside the wing and attached the part we removed and
found
the same thing. However, we learned that by placing a jack under the rear
spar and jacking it up until the weight was off the wheels, that the
section
moved back into alignment. Therefore, it appears that all we will need to
do
is reattach everything with the jack in place and with a "jig" bar across
the top to keep the spar absolutely in line while we attach the ribs and
related parts. Once that is done its just a matter of buttoning it all
up.
Tomorrow
I will be ordering a couple of replacement parts, including the damaged
rear
"walk" section, and we'll start back together with everything as soon as
it
gets here. I'll order second or third day so it won't take too long. If
I
get them in before Saturday I might go ahead and work all day Saturday but
I'm not sure how quick I can get them. In any case I don't think anything
should keep us from having it ready close to mid week, next week. I got
my
medical yesterday and just need a BFR. I hope to get it next week and if
I
do I'll fly it myself and be sure its rigged right before you come up
again.
I'll keep you informed.
