Side Panels
« on: February 22, 2020, 07:34:46 PM »
Hi All,
I have recently completed the 766 build and also have test flown it with no real issues.  I have noticed though that the side panels are free to move a little with the fasteners secured.  I am not sure if this was the case when I originally fitted them.  I don't think it is a big issue but curious is this is normal.  Perhaps some grommets would have been nice here. Thanks in advance.

It has been a while since I sold the 766 airframe, but I believe I installed rubber O-rings (Home Depot, plumbing aisle) between the airframe studs and the side panels to prevent the "play" you are experiencing.

Thanks curmudgeon.  It sounds like the freeplay may be normal to prevent stress cracks from occurring.
