1.2 Hours -
This evening, I was able to finish up the HS rear spar. I finished riveting the HS-609PP bars to the HS-603PP channels and then riveted on the 8 hinge brackets. Finally, I found all the hardware needed to bolt the HS-411PP center bearing assembly on to the spar, but I had to stop there because I don’t yet have a torque wrench.
I spent the next thirty minutes searching the internet for a beam style torque wrench that measures in inch-pounds. I found a few prospects, but I can reach these bolts even after the rear spar is permanently attached to the HS, so I’m not in a rush to purchase. With any luck, I’ll find one I can borrow.
Look Ma, no clecoes! For reference, I'm 6'2" and the spar towers over me.
