Hi everyone, working on 9A Left wing LE and I'm having a lot of trouble installing them with clecos.
The plans say place LE sking in jig, cleco ribs starting with top skin and beginning from the front, then put clecos in the bottom skin starting from the front.
Putting the clecos in the top skin was OK, but when it came time to put the clecos into the bottom part of the LE, the wholes are not even close to the rib holes. To get them even close I have to use a lot of force on the rib.
I thought I had the wrong ribs or something. I double checked the flanges for 90 degrees and made sure the ribs were straight.
I would appreciate any thoughts, I am so frustrated after spend hours trying to figure this out.
Thanks
james
