Hi All,
I think I need to replace my inner ribs on the horizontal stabilizer before proceeding.
As I read the instructions, it simply said "choose which ribs will be used in the right and which will be used in the left, and mark them."
So, I set aside one HS-00005 for each side.
However, now that I have everything mocked up, I have noticed that the width of HS-00005 is not the same between the two ends. The way I have mine, the rib is a little too wide in the rear (preventing skin from sitting on the rear spar flush), and a little too narrow in the front (there is a gap between skin and rib at front spar).
I did a rough measurement of HS-00005 width, and it's about 3.19" wide on one end, and 3.15" wide on the other. If mine were flipped, it would solve, or greatly reduce my gap problem.
Has anyone else run into this? Did I misread the instructions?
