Assembling parts of the glider flight control linkages in tight places.

1st photo - if only every job were this simple! Room to get both hands in, visibility, room to turn wrenches, etc. That's more the exception than the rule.

2nd photo - looking into the landing gear box through a hole that's large enough for one arm/hand. At the far end, where the bulkhead walls and fuselage converge into a tight corner...and where there are plenty of parts already installed...I need to connect another push-pull tube. I can only get one hand in there, there is barely enough room to insert the bolt, I'm working only by feel, and I also need to start the nut and tighten it.

What to do?

3rd - bolt the rod end outside the landing gear box, insert through a hole, then spin the rod end into its threaded socket.

4th - there is only room for a half wrench to tighten the jamb nut.

Whew!

Collision detected!

Now that most of the glider's flight control linkages have been bolted, I'm starting to check for conflicts, rubbing, bumping, etc. Some places have multiple moving parts in very cramped quarters, or moving parts that come very close to stationary parts such as bulkheads..

This video shows one collision. (It's in the 'mixer' section of the flight control linkages, in the fuselage just behind the landing gear.)

Fortunately, this one is easy to fix...swap the bolt and nut on one part.

There is much more checking to be done throughout the glider....

Two antennae galaxies colliding. Scientists from the University of Southampton believe galaxies crashed together to create gigantic elliptical galaxies.

Strange blobs in Earth’s mantle are relics of a massive collision.
