if you check the top skins on the QB wings you will find that Vans did not
always follow its own advice.

trim the forward edge of the skin with a file or sanding block because
riveting causes flattening of the skin and extends it .010-.015. results in
a slight ridge.

Hi Les,
There should be plenty of material for tapping the tie downs. I had no
problem here. Just go slow, use plenty of oil, and reverse out the tap
often to clear the threads. I then used a small angled pick to remove chips
from the holes. I used a small Vixen file to put a bevel on the skin edges
for overlapping. Again, go slow and steady and keep a constant angle. Be
sure to remove some material from the aft edge of the skins so they do not
buckle and cause oil canning. You'll see what I mean after you cleco the
skins on the first time.

Hi
This wekend I started fininihsing off my QB wings. When installing the
botton skins, the plans reference step 5 on pag 16-2 that describe how to
improve the "aesthetics" of the wing overlaps.
While the plans suggest removing material from the overlapped skins, they
neglect to say how to do this. The range of possibilities go from a chain
saw to a jeweler's file. I think a sanding block with a fine grit sandpaper
might work but was wondering what others have used.
As well, I have a couple of tie down rings for the wings. Looking at the
ring attachment points, it looks like the there is not enough material to
allow tapping holes for the rings. Am I missing something ?
Inquiring minds need to know.
