I'm assembling the ribs to the main spar on my -12. I'm finding a discrepancy in the plans and before I rivet the ribs on, I'd like confirmation that I have it correct.
On the final nose rib that is closest to the centerline, the instructions say to rivet on the rib with "THREE NUTPLATES" . Well, I don't have a rib with three nutplates. The previous steps asked to put two nutplates on one rib and one nutplate and a reinforcing plate on another. The only rib I have left has the one nutplate and the reinforcing plate on it.
I'm suspecting that there was a plans change somewhere and the three nutplate thing is a past version, having been replaced by the one nutplate and reinforcing plate.
Can some let me know if I have this put together correctly? I've been through all the instructions and I can't find any step anywhere that says to rivet on three nutplates.
Thanks.
