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: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Or, drop a personal check in the mail to: Matt Dralle / Matronics 581 Jeannie Way Livermore CA 94550 USA Thank you in advance for your kind consideration, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 07:19:23 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Center section wing bolt alignment From: Kelly McMullen 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. Kelly 95% done, 95% to do. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:10:34 PM PST US From: Jesse Saint Subject: Re: RV10-List: Center section wing bolt alignment That sounds like a major problem. Hopefully Van's will make it right.

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.

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.
