RV-7 and RV-10 Fuel Tank Differences

[way_up_north]

Hello everyone

I used to own an RV-7 build. I got up to the Wings stage and sold the build

I was comparing my old RV-7 plans with the RV-10

I wanted to make sure I understand the RV-10 vs the RV-7

on the RV-7 the wing has 3 attach points...the rear spar, the spar and the fuel tank attach fitting.

But the RV-10 only has 2 attach points the rear spar and the spar...I just want to make sure I understand the plans I saw on the RV-10..the small spar like part that sticks out of the inboard side of the fuel tank is not an attach point, but a support for the wing skin.

Thanks in advance for clearing this up for me.

That forward piece will attach to the side of the fuselage with 2 bolts. When fitting the wings, one of the last steps is you will match drill a bracket that gets riveted to the tank at that point, then this bracket is bolted to the fuse. This will give you the 3 points. See step 4 on this page -> https://www.myrv10.com/Plans/RV10_Plans_sec44-pg03.html
