This portion of the wing plan deserves it's own thread. I plan to convert the RV-10 out board leading edges into fuel tanks. I have read Tuckey's plans MANY MANY MANY times since he was building them. Now it's time to build these tanks myself.
I don't have the wing kit yet, so I don't have the plans to study in more depth. Thanks to Tim Olsen's site, I was able to see some of the wing plans (although a bit blury) to get an idea of the RV-10 wing structure.
I would like to order the parts needed for this conversion at the same time as the full wing kit to save on shipping costs. Any RV-10 owners want to shed some light on this conversion?
Questions I have:
1 - What parts did you order and how many?
2 - Is the leading edge wing spar section pre-punched?
3 - Can I replace the entire Leading edge section parts with fuel tank parts (skin, ribs, rear baffle, z brackets) assuming the wing spar is not pre-punched?
4 - Is the wing symetrical in the sense that I can replace the Leading edge assembly with a fuel tank assembly?
Tips suggestions are welcomed.
