 |
|
Say someone made their static hole too large on one of the F-1073 side
skins. Say someone wanted to devise a fix for said hole so that the
Cleveland static port would still reside in the same place. Would someone
make a backing plate that had riveted to it a piece of aluminum the same
thickness as the side skin onto which the aforementioned static port was
attached so that the backing plate and the new piece of aluminum/static port
was flush with the original skin?
Or, would one simply go buy another F-1073 and ream out the holes, deburr
everything, and call it a learning experience? Wise thoughts, please.

John,
For me it would be...How much too big? Your scab patch on the inside my look sorta OK, but as I understand it the Cleavland ports need to be installed so the flat portion that extends out through the skin by a certain degree of thousands of an inch, I don't recall the exact measurment to insure the ports don't siphon air like a venturi, the small amount of protrusion makes the air "burble" around the port so you get a true static pressure. You would not get this by patching from behind then installing through the patch.
So I would imagine you would have to mount that port in another hole then patch your skins, which if you scab on a patch behind the existing hole you could build up with epoxy filler and make a flush repair. Your call.....but deep down it's more of a cosmetic thing....and if you want to buy new skins.

John,
Contact Dave at rvsilverbullet(at)verizon.net . He can make you up a custom static port to any size you want.

Wise thought, this is not. Embarrassed, I may be.

FYI - I ordered static ports and the trim cable mounts from Dave and found
him to do excellent work and he was a pleasure to deal with.

If it was me, I would take the static port to a machinist, and have him make
a new one, to fit the new hole. It may cost you, but a good machinist like
my neighbor can make it to fit any hole and still have the exact pressure,
static source. Actually, it would not take that good a machinist, just
someone with a lathe.

Back from OSH and finally cooling down here in Nevada.
At least here it's a dry heat. LOL
