This is the Starboard lift pad. You can see the lousy fit, and this is not with any temporary spacing shim, nor is the lift pin screwed out 1 turn!
We removed the Pip Pin pull ring so we can have a smaller semicircle filed from the wing root. We will modify a pair a long needle nose pliers or a hemostat for pulling the Pip Pin. We made a temporary safety wire pull.
I went wrong by eyeballing the aft receptacle assembly trying to get it in the neutral position. It skewed when we fabricated a shim where it was close to the full pin up position.
Here we put in temporary shims that are JB KWIKed in position to force the assembly to be in the neutral position.
Oh well, time to file and grind and make it right.
BTW, Bud mentioned to not Redux in the aft lift pins until after final assembly once painted, and unscrew the pins one full turn.
This way you have a chance to tweak sweep one way or the other.
