I just completed my first winter project to retrofit Wedekind Sleeves
to my DG-101G ELAN. These will be much easier to use than either the originally suggested safety pin or even the Uerling sleeves. Very robust and secure. I purchased the sleeves from McLean Aviation in the UK (DG and LS dealer). Nice people. For the airlerons fittings, the diagrams supplied from DG and McLean suffice. ftp://dgflugzeugbau.de/tn/dg-100/TN3...N%20301-16.pdf. I also found some pictures of a Nimbus Wedekind installation at http://www.jimphoenix.com/jimphoenix...bWedekind.html which helped on the ailerons. However for the airbrake fittings, there are only a few very poor "hints" which didn't offer much help. After spending 4 sweaty hours on the first airbrake install (and 30 minutes on the second of course) I found some more detailed information from Solaire Canada written by Juergen Nick (whereabouts unknown) which are much more complete. They were FAXed to me but I cannot find them on the web. I took pictures of the airbrake installation and put them into a PowerPoint presentation with my own hints. If anyone would like to see them, please drop me a line. Johnatderosaweb.com |
