God smiled on the South yesterday and handed us the most perfect flying day we could ask for...to Sebring!
Mitch Locke, Van's East coast rep is a wonderful guy, very knowledgable and accomodating. The crowds were all over the -12!
What puzzles me, is the location of the spars within their respective wings. Since they overlap each other, it would seem that one wing will have a spar further forward or backward, by their thickness, so that the leading edges align. Well, Mitch showed me that they do, in fact, align and so do all the rivet lines on both sides, align with the vertical rivet lines of the fuselage.
So what is going on inside the wings to make this alignment happen? Seems that one of the spars should be offset by their thickness.
Best,
