Pete,What is your travel speed on your Spal LACT-6 linear actuator, 6" inch
travel? ?Seems like most are listed as .39 inches per second. ?Do you have
something faster or is that the rate that you use?

My speed brake is controlled by a momentary on /off/ on switch (Aircraft Spruce
#T7-131G1) controlling a Spal LACT-6 linear actuator, 6" inch travel with
built-in stop limits at each end of travel. Hold momentary on to lower to
desired angle, approx. 20 degrees per second. Flip to on

Have some difficulty with the aileron spars that I have floxed into the wing
(Diehl RAF-48 skins). Thought I had them held straight when I glued them in,
but when I screw the hinge in place, it's in a bind, not real bad, but not as
free as I think it should be. Thinking of re-doing the

Oscar did the calculations for the FLAPS on my KR with full flaps deployed to
37?, which is likely a little more area than most belly boards, but similar in
loads. The load calculation gave me a safe speed for full flaps of 100 mph IAS
with a 10% gust load factor. I have had partial flaps out
The thought of wood screws holding your ailerons on in 1/4" wood, or
even thicker for that matter, would scare me. When I had my first KR I
had to replace my aileron hinges for some reason I no longer remember
and I did all new screw holes and nut plates. It was fairly easy to add
them to an alre
Guys with speed brakes. Do you always do a full deployment of your brake or do
partial deployment as needed? ?I have internal limit switches in my actuator.
So all I need is a on on switch. ?Or if I want to stop in the middle. ?I would
need a on off on. This would be on my ?stick grip.?

One thing to consider. If I read Mark's post correctly, his belly
board screws are 3/4" long
Someone mentioned click bond nut plates earlier...I love them...I call them
out on dispositions whenever replacing the rivets is impractical. The
rubber plugs are intended to hold the proper pressure while the adhesive
cures...works great on sheet metal...then pulled out. Click bonds are

The point I was trying to make was. What's wrong with using wood screws on the
aileron hinges? Just curious. I think it has been proven that they work on
belly boards going 130 mph and they don't fall off.?One think I can think of.
The plans call for Nut plates and getting it past the DAR might
Yes, I have seen it Mark. ?I followed the way that you did it . ?Also
Incorporated the things that you would would have done different.?

Yes, I'm the guy with the 130 mph speed brake.? See
