Dear Listers,
Here in the United States, Thursday is our National day of Thanksgiving. Many
of us will be traveling to be with our families and friends to share in generous
feasts of plenty and giving thanks for the many blessings that have been bestowed
upon us.
Many Listers have expressed over the last couple of weeks how thankful they are
for the Email Lists and Forums here on the Matronics servers and for all of the
assistance and comradery they have experienced being a part of the Lists.
One of my favorite comments is when someone writes to me and says something like,
"Its the first thing I do in the morning while I'm having my morning coffee!".
That's a wonderful tribute to the purpose and function of these Lists.
Its always great to hear I'm not the only one that jumps out of bed each morning
to check my List email!!
Won't you take a minute today and show your appreciation for these Lists and for
their continued operation and upgrade?
The List Contribution Site is:

Or, drop a personal check in the mail to:

| Subject: | Center section wing bolt alignment |
In preparation for attaching my QB wings I tried a trial insertion of the
NAS bolts into the two halves of the center carrythrough in the QB
fuselage. The pilot side holes are lined up and bolts fit snuggly.
Passenger side the holes have at least a 1/16" vertical misallignment that
would prevent getting the bolts in regardless of force applied.
Have others run into this and come up with a solution? I have email drafted
to go to Van's for their solution, but some how I doubt I have the only
quick built that isn't just right.

That sounds like a major problem. Hopefully Van's will make it right.

Hey Kelly,
1/16=9D vertical misalignment is a lot. I=99m not sure if
this is the same issue you=99re talking about, but I did find that
on our quick build the outer =9Csandwich=9D layer on the
center spar was just enough out of alignment that I had to file it flush
to get the bolts to go through. It was so slight that I didn=99t
notice it until I couldn=99t get the bolts to go through on the
first trial fit of the wings, but it still took some elbow grease to
hand finish it. No problems with it five years of flying.
Later, =93 Lew

Lew,
Thanks for the suggestion. I can insert the bolts from back or front and
get same misalignment, so I don't think it is the sandwich, but I will look
at it again for that specific issue.
