The Phlogiston spar has anodized doublers ( 2ea 1/8" ) riveted to the Z shaped rear spar at the fuselage carry through. The carry through is fabricated and installed per Vans print, ie, 1/8" above the floor skin and just below the hole for the elevator push rod. The rear spar is positioned so the incidence is correct ( 2.8" ) below the top of the main spar. The Plogiston spar sits high in the 1 1/2" tall carry through bars. The Vans print calls for .312 bolt to be 3/4" from the edges of the Phlogiston spar.
Therefore, to comply, the bolt will have less edge distance in the 1 1/2" tall carry through. I have studied every page in the plans three times. I don't see an edge distance called out. Can you help ?
