High Mountain Doings

From 8200 feet along one side of the Upper Arkansas River Valley in central Colorado, my blog is about many things: travel including river and bicycle trips, and other experiences as well. The focus is on photography, not lots of text.

Closer View of Hinge Pin Brackett

This is the upper rudder hinge pin being held by the jig. Once the jig is gone, it'll be ready for the two bolt holes to be drilled, and bolts installed. That won't be an easy job, as a later photo will show. The white dacron tape across the bottom of the bracket, held in place by some tape, is "peel-ply," which is for holding wet epoxy in place. When the latter is hard, the tape is easily peeled off. It worked really well. It didn't stick, even where it's saturated with epoxy.

Hello, Michael Coates from Pipistrel here, I have just dropped by to see how you are going and it looks like you are doing a great job. The photographs are really clear and much of this information is priceless to other builders because as you mentioned one picture is worth 1000 words or more ! Keep up the good work and as always if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us again. Many thanks Michael
