RE: Senior Telemaster ARF modifications
More progress tonight. I got the port half of the forward wing mount done and epoxied. I would have done both half's but I only have one large clamp. As you can see in the pictures I used the original rib as a doubler. I drilled and sanded a 3/4!QUOT! hole to accept a dowel that runs to the 4th rib. I wanted to add the dowel to help distribute the load better. With this set up both forward wing half's would have to tear away for the wing mount to fail. I also got some more work in on the rudder. One thing I didn't like about the hardware included in the kit is the tail wheel mount. I'm not sure why but the didn't install some kind of wheel collar to prevent the forces and bumps being absorbed by the rudder and hinges. I unbent the wire at the top and slid a collar that I will tighten just under the bracket. I'm not sure how much I will get done the rest of the week. Saturday is a big electric event and Sunday is RCX
