| Subject: | Re: Aileron trailing edge skislope effect |
RV-Listers,
Thanks all for the comments and suggestions. I thought I'd post my
solution in case anyone runs into the same issue. I ended up ordering
new ribs from Vans that didn't have prepunched flanges, then match
drilled them to the skins. They actually gave me a break on the price,
so all four ribs came to only about $15!
If interested, you can see how the fit compares:
Original prepunched rib: http://www.our7a.com/images/20071024-02-tn.jpg
New non-prepunched rib: http://www.our7a.com/images/20071106-04-tn.jpg
Best regards,
Mike Cencula

The EAA chapter in Fulton NY, near Syracuse, has had this kit for a few
years, stored in a big, dry, wood box. The original builder made a good
aluminum frame to hold the wings, and drilled the skins and ribs in both
tail and wings. He had not started the dimpling. Tail dates back to 1994.
All plastic was removed. Frame included. Any reasonable offer will be
accepted to a good home. Proceeds go to the chapter. Please contact me off
list.
Thanks,
Dale Walter
