Hinge Plate Details

Figure 35

4. Align the top of the Generator Mounting Plate hinge with the marked line at the top of the hinge plate and temporarily secure the hinge to the hinge plate with C-clamps.

5. Mark the location of the hinge pivot point on top of the tail boom by measuring in 2” from the right edge of the base plate.

6. With the curved edge of the base plate facing left and the tail boom in the top position, position the generator mounting plate/hinge plate assembly onto the base plate. Align the pivot point of the hinge with the location marked in Step 5.

Using C-Clamps, loosely secure the hinge plate to the near side of the tail boom. Slide the hinge plate along the tail boom so as to position the outer edge of the pivot wheel 1/2“ in from the curved outer edge of the base plate.

7. Align the bottom edge of the hinge plate flush with the surface of the base plate and securely tighten the C-clamps to the tail boom.

Verify that the outer edge of the pivot wheel is 1/2“ in from the curved outer edge of the base plate. If necessary, loosen the C-clamps to accurately position the hinge plate and then tighten the clamps .

8. Remove the C-clamps securing the hinge to the hinge plate and set the generator mounting plate assembly aside. Do not remove the C-clamps securing the hinge plate to the tail boom.

9. Remove the tail boom from the base plate.

Using a 1/4“ drill bit, drill six holes through the hinge plate and tail boom at the locations marked in Step 3. Remove the C-clamps and deburr the holes.

10. Using six AN4-26A bolts, washers, and lock nuts temporarily attach the hinge plate to the tail boom. Snuggly tighten the lock nuts.

11. Position the generator mounting plate back onto the base plate. Using C-clamps, loosely secure the hinge to the hinge plate.

Note: The following procedure accurately aligns the generator mounting plate to achieve minimum rolling friction of the pivot wheel during furling.

12. Position the hinge on the hinge plate so that the entire rolling surface of the pivot wheel evenly contacts the base plate.

Slide the hinge upward along the hinge plate until the inner edge of the pivot wheel starts to lose contact with the base plate. Mark the position of the bottom edge of the hinge onto to hinge plate.

Slide the hinge downward along the hinge plate until the outer edge of the pivot wheel starts to lose contact with the base plate. Mark the position of the bottom edge of the hinge onto to hinge plate.

Position the bottom edge of the hinge midway between the two marked positions and securely tighten the C-clamps.

13. Remove the six bolts attaching the hinge plate to the tail boom.

14. Using a 7/32-inch drill bit, match-drill hinge attachment holes into the mounting plate. Remove the C-clamps and deburr the holes.

Using 12-24 x 1-inch flat head machines screws, washers, and lock nuts, attach the hinge to the mounting plate.
