Last week I was having a time getting the drift pins to fit in the front spar and because of good advise was able to overcome that obstacle. Now I have a new and more frightening one. We fitted our wings on the RV 9A Friday and checked the sweep, triangulation and incidence and found them to be RIGHT on. Then we checked our edge distance on the rear spars and found that on the left, we had several mm's of spare distance. However, on the right, we find that there is at best NO extra edge distance and in fact, I think we may be several mm's short in the medial-lateral plane (inboard-outboard/horizontal plane) It is so questionable that I don't feel secure enough to go ahead and drill them. The Posterior wing spar doesn't rest against the fuselage and in fact stands off a centimeter or so. In the horizontal plane we are fine.
Any suggestions?
