Quick question before I cut the wrong thing...

[StuBob]

Search didn't get me anywhere, so forgive the newbie question.

Working on RV-8 wings, the manual says, "Make the wing walk doubler (DWG 17A) from AS3-025x9 3/8x26."

I have two sheets of AS3-025, both measuring 10x48. Am I correct in assuming I should use these sheets and cut pieces 9 3/8x26, and that the rest of each sheet (which will be 22" long minus kerf) is used for something else? Or do I need to keep looking for a 9 3/8x26?

Even as I ask, it sounds stupid, but the manual says what it says......

Thanks in advance.

Yes, use that sheet. You will have heaps spare, which can be used for other brackets etc later in the build. Make sure you read the posts on spar overlap distance and flap interference so you cut it the right length.

Thanks. And thanks for the tip about overlap.

As a matter of fact, I recently purchased this exact sheet as I needed some .025 aluminum.


Here is what it is shown as on "The List":

That settles that. Thanks.
