I got a bit too much sun yesterday working in the back yard, so today was less sun and more list-making. After taking apart Goat and putting it away, I flipped through the drawings page by page and tried to mark everything there is left to do. Too many things... so here are a few pictures to lessen the length of the list.
Open questions:
- Do the aileron control rods need quick links? They were very awkward while attached to the wing during dis/assembly...
- How to get the ailerons to fold flatter against the wing upper surface?
- Why aren't the cabanes folding flatter against the bottom of the wing?
- Aft, lower strut attachment bracket holes are twisted? Re-make the nose carry-thru tube and match drill?
- Check cabane aft tubes ... why did I buy replacements last big order?
- small shock cord
- 3/4" washers (3x needed) for the flap control flanges
- 1/8" quick links (1x flap, 2x aileron linkage)
- (4x) AN3-4 for hinges
- (4x) AN3-5 for hinges
- (4x) AN3-5A for aileron turn pullies
- (2x) AN3-24A for root area
- (2x) 3/8" x 0.035" x 20 for tip aft upper brace
- find a better seat and then actually attach it
- bolt lengths and cotter pins on cabane to wing attachments
- install bolts on aileron turning pulley (done left, not done right)
- install correct length bolts on both aileron pulley brackets
- swage aft cables (4x remaining)
- fiberglass the ribs to LE and TE
- leading edge shell (G4S9)
- glass wrap on aileron control tube guides (4x total)
- correct length bolts both aileron and flap hinges (there is an AN3-6 in place of an AN3-4)
- correct bolts for horizontal tail strut lower attachments (G4T19)
- glass the ailerons and right flap ribs
- hard-points for the flap control flanges
- DONE move left aileron control line to below the cross-brace cable at the root area
- rivet aileron crank tube to trailing edge (G4S4)
- flip aft aileron control horn bolt to other direction
- flip side of flap panel flange and bolt directions (see G4S10)
- aileron crank tube slot
- aileron crank tube plates enlarge holes and deburr so the stainless part don't rub a sharp edge
- stiffener for aileron control line
- trim nose skid tube to length
- make a nose skid (G4N10)
- check if the control stick axis bolt has a cotter pin
- check if rudder pedal hinges have cotter pins
- confirm there is a sleeve in the nose tube lower attachment
- sidewalls in forward nose section (G4N13)
- round off the tail skid to be more roundy than pointy
- threadlock on every quick-link
- AN3-26A bolt into the forward line guide bracket, replacing a rivet (G4T14)
- attach snap hook on elevator control arm with shock cord
- neoprene eyebolt spacer: horizontal stab (G4T8), elevator control arm (G4T16), tail strut (G4T19)
- wrap every pulley with tape and heat shrink to hold stiff and straight
- cabane compression braces (some are loose after the cabane rework from G3 to G4 design)
- check every quick pin for elastic retainers are both present and correct length (several are just singles)
- inspection panels
- velcro to hold ailerons & flaps up for storage
- gap seals
- tow-hook release pin, line, guides, and handle (G4N17)
- emergency parachute (G4N19)
- fairings for main struts, jury struts, and tail struts
