Wings

Torque Tubes  ( 3 hrs )

Good news:  Vans is shipping the B/O items today.  Apparently they had in stock all but the Fuel Valve  ( no explanation of why not already shipped ! ).  

I trial fit LH & RH Flaps to wings after unwrapping.   Installed CM-4M Rod End Bearings.


But I discovered Van's Packing List doesn't include four AN310-4 castle nuts needed to complete attachment to wings.  They responded to email with news they were shipping those, apparently supposed to be included in Bag 3100 for Flap Actuation...but not listed or provided.  You'd think w/ the RV14 kits being available since 2013 they'd have that resolved.  Maybe since the QB Wings are relatively new offerings, they messed that up. Both Flaps are now in extra bedroom = plane parts safe storage facility.

Started build of Torque Tube Ass'ly for Aileron Actuation, Sect 23-06 Steps 1 & 2.
