| Prepare the Spar doublers for the Left and Right wing spars. I noticed that the outboard doubler W1007E-L on th eLeft spar |
|
| projected above the spar flange by about 1/10" of an inch, I thought this a little odd, as most of Van's parts fit pretty ,much exact, |
|
| As I finished the steps for th eLeft spar and began on the right spar The parts DID fit exactly with no projections above, i went |
|
| back and reexamined the Left spar and found the the spar flange (TOP) of the Left spar was too short, and that the 'tapering' of |
|
| the flange began around mid spar and continued to the end. since the #40 holes for attaching the skins are drilled in reference to |
|
| the rear of the spar flange these holes are going to be way off (1/10") from the skins and this isn't going to work, so a call to |
|
| Van's got Gus on the line, sent him some pic's and he sent back e-mail that they will send out another spar. The problem is that |
|
| it's 12' long and requires to be shipped via freight. I told them that I had a Fuse kit being shipped the week of Jan 7, and that they |
|
| could include it with that kit if it worked for them, he checked on it and got back to me today and said that woudl work for them, |
|
| I'll got ahead on the right wing while I wait, and figure I can get the right wing skins on and attach Fuel tanks and leading edges |
