RV-7 Assembly to drill rear spar and flaps

[eddieseve]

Hi Guys,

A few photos from this weekends efforts, fuse leveled, wings were plugged in, rear spar drilled, flaps hung and trimmed to fit the side of the fuselage, and flap deflection checked.

I am getting a throw of 46 degrees flaps up to down, and was wondering what others had seen.

Hope you enjoy the photos.

That's exactly what I have on mine.

That's a number that doesn't appear on the list (at least when I check). Is that coming off the spar itself? Or is that the packing list indicated number? And is this the main spar or the rear spar?

7-3118 is your spar serial number. You will find it on both spars and the center section. If it looks like a spar, it's the right part. Just make sure you figure out which is left and which is right (should be L and R suffix on the serial numbers).

I'm at this point myself. The instructions note that there are a couple of nose ribs where the holes in the flange don't all match the holes in the spar, and you have to match drill a new hole in the rib flange using the hole in the spar as a template. You'll also run into this on a couple of inboard main ribs where they attach to the rear spar.
