Jan -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Michael D. Cencula Sent: 07 November 2007 06:02 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.
