So I finally finished all of the control surfaces and got back to the wing. I put up the wing stand this weekend and even though I haven't straightened flanges or fluted any of the ribs, I wanted to put it together to see it start to take shape. The problem I see is the W-711 seem to be mis-labeled. I started working on the right side because that is what I happened to grab first, even though the drawings show the left wing. For the right, I'm used to seeing parts "reverse" for L and R parts. i.e. the W-712-R for the wingtip of the left wing is a W-712-L for the right wing. This worked to keep the flanges facing the same direction (but mirrored) for the right wing. The problem came to the W-711s. If I did this with them, they would be reverse. I put up the Left spar and found the same thing. Everything matched except the W-711s were reversed from L to R. I assume it's just a L and R mismatch from Vans.
What I assembled matches the drawings so I'm not sure if I'm telling the community or asking a question. I will say my wings delivered during the biggest part of the delivery issues from Vans and this isn't the first mislabeled part I've found in the kit.
Maybe I'm just excited to see the wings starting to take shape!
