Forgot to mention in the video that the plane was going to the paint shop right after I was done if you guys were wondering why I left it with just the green primer.
Thanks for Watching! see you in the next video!

Could you do a video on how you do a logbook write up of different types of work? Repair and replace, 100hr, etc? (New to GA)

here's a tip from a fellow airframe mechanic, when you scribe your outer line for the part, drill one hole first, then put a spring cleko, the part won't move and you are able to transfer the holes to the new part instead of drawing the hole circles and then drilling it later because the holes can move on you if you aren't straight. also, instead of spending so much time using a file to deburr the edges, ur in a hangar, there must be an air hose somewhere and i know you have a die grinder so just put a blue scotchbrite pad on it and send it. another thing, what the hell was that spray you put on before the zinc chromate? just get an allodine stick and use it for literally 5 seconds. i know ur title says a little less than ideal tools but you're just using the wrong methods in my opinion. no disrespect your method works but its also not an ideal method of doing the task.

What about the two flush rivets on the door aft of the lower hinge? They looked pulled through, hard to tell in the video. As a standard practice whether going to paint or not, lay down a moving blanket or some sort of protection for the paint. Other customers coming into the shop have no idea that aircraft would be going to paint, seeing your tools laying all over the wing is bad practice. I would have done a wet application of the repair brackets, rain and moisture would work right behind that in flight. Thank you for posting.

Someone else mentioned it but I would like to see something in a future video showing logbook entries. Just started A&P school and have been going over forms and whatnot lately, so would like to see a more real world example entry after having seen the work just done

also never use spring clekos, use draw clekos with a makita. it will hold the part better when ur putting fasteners. another thing, a method we do at my workplace is putting the fasteners "wet" with sealant. idk in ur situation whats called for in the drawing but its something we do
@davidosullivan394

Spring clecos are the way to go on thin metal like that. Draws will fuck up the holes on thin metal. Especially with a battery powered drill which is always a bad idea. Use the right tools for the job.

How do you know if you can make the item or if you have to install the item that had to be purchased from the aircraft supplier? It looked like the skin was cracked in the corner of the one hinge. This is not an issue. Thanks for the video.

The aircraft manual will give you guidance on which avenue to take. But you can always almost fabricate parts.

So I've only had experience working on f18's. Never been out in General aviation, do you use sealant on stuff like this? do fasteners not get installed wet?
@aerocrafty6006
@aerocrafty6006 Жыл бұрын
Yes some jobs specifically call out to wet install fasteners/rivets. Which usually is when you have dissimilar metals contacting each other or need to seal something. But in this case both rivet and plate are made of the same metal and the aircraft is not pressurized.

Love your videos, but what is your FOD SOP requirements. It seems that you are just popping the heads off the rivets and then just tossing them.

It’s important to get your unprotected eye as close as possible to the disc on your Dremel. That way when the disk flies apart at 20,000 rpm, the pieces don’t have as far to go to reach your pupils.

This is pretty much what brought down the Concorde. About 30 mins into this video is the small strip of metal riveted on to a DC10 which fell off and cut the Concorde tyre on takeoff. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eZOedK-Kq52XmIk.html
