De-nuding TT
Six man hours to remove wings and tailplane. I'd estimated an hour and a half.
Access to the live nuts behind bulkheads was very poor, why did they not use captive ones?
To withdraw the rear spar bolts, it was necessary to remove the harness lap strap as the fittings share the same bolt but won't let you get a spanner or socket on with harness attached!
Detaching the aileron control cables and the tensioner cable from the stick probably caused most swearing and certainly produced most blood as my fingers kept finding shards of stainless steel locking wire! The fact that this was all done sight unseen caused the outbreak of the vocal symptoms of Tourette's!
Anyway I was quite surprised by the weight of the wings and the tailplane and after 6 hours began to contemplate whether a match would have made a more conclusive job!
