Default Plan Error: Fuel Tank Section

Maybe this has been talked about before, but?

I assume that the picture is wrong. It shows two tank stiffeners where there should only be one. The aft stiffener is correct, but the forward one is where the bracket goes. Correct?

There is only one J-stiffener in the fuel tank. If you look closely, the drawing is a "break" in the stiffener (for simplicity). Not sure what bracket you refer to.

Ken,
I see what you're looking at now - you're right. There is only one "stiffener" in that "bay". . . . thought you were referring to the J-channel. Build on!

Vans indicated that is was a hold over front he RV-10 plans, which apparently does have two stiffeners there.
