[rebel-builders] Fife elevator tip install

Post by Ron Shannon » Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:36 pm

Not sure I understand, Roland. You shouldn't have trouble getting rivets
in. Try looking at my photos http://n254mr.com/node/1319 and
http://n254mr.com/node/1177 and http://n254mr.com/node/1180 . . Also a
photo of the rudder tip -- which is built the same way -- is at
http://n254mr.com/node/1457 -- which gives a slightly different angle on
the whole thing. Hopefully, these photos will help.

Note that there are just three pieces of metal in the tip, plus
counterweight, of course. First, a short channel running across the tip
inside, then the rib for the forward section, and the MAM "nose rib" that
holds the counterweight.

As I recall, there is some other piece called out in the manual for the
Murphy tips, but if memory serves, it's not needed with the Fife tips
because they're stronger. Perhaps that's what you're referring to.

For those who have installed the Fife elevator tips.

I am following the instructions for tip install found in the manual, but
due
to the fact that the Fife tips are one piece I am struggling a bit with one
section. The plans call for a L shaped bracket to tie the tip ST31
structure
to the elevator end rib. This is a lot easier with the factory tips as you
can work with the top half off. I am finding it difficult to get rivets
into
the L bracket as it is impossible to get a rivet gun into the space.
Hopefully those that have gone before know what I am talking about.


Also, I started to get duplicate copies of all the messages again... anyone
know a quick fix.
