When I line the three 711 wing ribs that are under the wingwalk area up with the rear spar. It looks like the top and bottom holes in the spar line up with the top and bottom holes in the rib but the 2 holes in the middle do not line up.
It looks like I'm supposed to use the rear spar as a guide to drill 2 new holes in these 3 711 ribs and just abandon the holes that are pre-punched in the ribs.
You can kind of see it in this horribly blurry picture. Where the clecos are, the holes line up but the holes between the clecos don't line up.
If there is something about this in the instructions or the plans, I'm missing it. The instructions do explicitly mention needing to put some new holes in a few of the leading edge ribs on either side of the tie-down extrusion. I'm always hesitant to make new holes unless they specifically mention them in the instructions. Did anyone else encounter this? I didn't find anything when I searched for it.
