gullikson Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Looking for suggestions on covering the 2.25" dia holes used to access the wing attach bolts in the centersection spar. I suppose I could just silicone a thin cover over these holes or install a couple of click bond nutplates with a cover. What's been done?

Waiter Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I used a .025 aluminum approximately 2 1/2 x4 inches, painted white. I then used a small dab of white RTV all the way around to hold it in place. Make sure the covers on the bottom have a small breather/drain hole. These can be popped off for inspection/wing removal, then just re-RTV them back in place Waiter Quote F16 performance on a Piper Cub budget LongEZ, 160hp, MT CS Prop, Downdraft cooling, Full retract visit: www.iflyez.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
