Hi list:
I've discovered that on my slowbuild matched hole wings, I've come across something I wasn't expecting. In clecoing the ribs to the main and rear spars, that the three inboard W-711 ribs that go under the wing walk area dont seem to match up hole for hole to the rear spar. These three locations are co-located with the fork doubler on the rear spar at the wing root. There is plenty of room on the rib flange to drill through the rear spar and drill new holes. I can't find anything in the written plans nor on the blueprint addressing this. Haven't called Vans yet, but will tomorrow if I don't get an answer.
Surely, someone has come across this before on the slowbuild, matched hole kits. It's probably something really simple, but it escapes me. I've double checked, and triple checked to make sure the correct ribs are in the correct position. What gives here??
