I am on page 12-02 step 5. I have drilled, debarred, dimpled and match drilles all the parts in this sub assembly.
I see where we are to radius the "back" edge of the little tabs or wings tso they fit inside the inside rib flange radius, got it, did it.
Mine still don't fit in there. I mean I can FORCE them in there and the rib flanges deflect past 90...it takes considerable force to do this. It appears the part is just too long. The outer radius for those wings don't fit inside my ribs. Now, my ribs did not come in blue plastic, so I guess it is possible I got a stray batch. Anyone else have a tough time getting it in there? I could force it in, but then my skins will sit poorly, that is how bad the flanges deform.
Ideas?
I made a video on YouTube, but it really does not help much.
