Wing contour drawing?
- Thread starter Cfrisella
- Start date
On my -6A slow build, the only full scale "drawing" of the wing was painted on the inside of one of the shipping plywood boxes that contained the wing parts. The builder was directed to cut out this profile and use it as a template when mounting and aligning the ailerons to the wing.
I do not think Van provided the same box template when the pre punched solutions were implemented, as in the -7, -8, 9, etc.
I have heard that the RV-4, 6, 7, and 8 have the same airfoil, so it may be possible to make your own drawing from a completed wing buy removing a wing tip and then tracing the wing / aileron profile on a stiff piece of cardboard.

Give Vans a call. They have the wing profile on paper they will ship you. The cost was $5 for my RV6 wing profile plan last week.
