Nash" Subject: RV10-List: F-1046 Longeron to F-1005E Gusset Holes I lined up the F-1046L longeron with the gusset as described on page 29-9, with the longeron flush with the skin. Then, I drilled the holes. The edge distance is terrible, but I can't see what I did wrong. I've searched and found others with the same problem, but no resolutions turn up. The diagram on 29-9 sure acts like these holes will wind up in the middle of the longeron, but I don't see how. Waiting to drill the other side until I can figure out how to avoid the same problem. Looks to me like I should replace the longeron, but I don't know how to do it any differently and still have the longeron flush with the skin. https://goo.gl/photos/J8s8gheQ1GBmUUi1A https://goo.gl/photos/z11vaX6PZt3Zc1w69 Any suggestions? ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:26:20 PM PST US From: Phillip Perry Subject: Re: RV10-List: F-1046 Longeron to F-1005E Gusset Holes I don't think you need to rebuild the longeron. Give Vans a call tomorrow a nd send them the photos too. I believe they have developed a repair for th is. IIRC, it involves a gusset. But give them a shout and I'm pretty su re they'll be able to take care of you. At least you noticed it now. Some folks have built on and had to correct i t later after the tail is assembled. Only to have to tear it back apart to f ix it. Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 4, 2017, at 4:16 PM, Berck E.
