Alum Angle in wing kit (RV-7)

[Arie]

Good day RV friends
Could someone tell me in more detail what the alum angle that shipped with the wing kit is for.

3/4 inch angle 1/8 inch thick and just over 15 feet long ( x2) ...I figured this is for the longerons

3/4 inch angle 1/8 inch thick and almost 10 feet long (x2) .... What is this for?

3/4 inch angle 0.063 inch thick and 12 feet long (x2) ....Also ,what is this for?

I can only assume that it is for brackets and stiffners for use in the fuselage kit, but chopping up a long piece of angle to make a stiffner or bracket off a long piece of angle doesn't give me a warm feeling ,for fear that the left over piece is now too short to make something that maybe needs a longer piece .

Kind regards
Arie

Longerons. Don't chop them up!

Edit: Only the long ones are the longerons, the others are used to fabricate parts.

The longest ones are the longerons, true, so don't cut those. But IIRC, the others are used to make various stiffeners and braces and such.

The 10 ft piece will be used for the sides of the seat backs. The 063 stuff will be used for the seat backs and a bunch of other stuff. Chop'em up as required. ;-)

I had to wear my dumba$$ hat for a week when I called Van's to say I was short of angle for the fuselage, only to be reminded that it was shipped with the wings. I remembered the longerons but forgot the others.
