Mounting Stall Warning Assembly With Socket Head Screws


The socket head screws ordered for securing the stall warning assembly came, so decided to get into the shop for a few minutes and make the change. The size of the Allen head socket in the new screw is 9/64” … the Allen wrench I used is rather long which may be problematic when the wing is assembled. Fortunately, I have an Allen set which attaches to a small ratchet wrench down at the Southern Outpost in case further tweaking is deemed necessary during flight testing.

                                 9/64” wrench in lower screw shows accessibility, it clears the keeper plate (barely).


Feel I will come to appreciate this small modification the first time I find myself lying on my back, under the wing, trying to adjust the stall warning assembly so the stall warning alarm sounds at the correct airspeed.
