Cencula" Subject: Re: RV-List: 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 RV-7A wings Bob wrote: > > After looking at the pictures, I don't see the problem.

Some places are worse than others. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:31:46 PM PST US From: "Dale Walter" Subject: RV-List: RV6 tail & wing kit for sale 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.
