Cliff,
No you need what is called for in the plans. The flange orientation is
important when you start riveting on the skins. I'm betting the pre punch
will not line up exactly when you get to the skins. Get the correct ribs
from Vans.

Cliff, Yes this is a problem, the skins wont fit the frame. Tell Vans they
blew it and get them replaced. They are usually very good at fixing this
sort of inbuilt headwind.

Hi all .Hope everyone enjoys a good year!
I am busy with my wings and found that I have 20 x 711L
[left] ribs only and not the normal 10 right and 10 left.Is this a problem
as they still fit but the flanges face the wrong way?

Cliff and David -
I believe I had a similar misunderstanding of the ribs in my 7 wing. I'm not
sure if yours is the same, but before sending back to Vans, try laying out
all the ribs for the left wing, just as the drawing shows (the drawing just
shows the left wing) then with the remaining ribs lay out a mirror image of
the left wing for the right wing. The rib numbering from the drawings (711L
etc) didn't seem to work for the right wing, but by making a mirror image
for the right wing I had all the correct ribs with the flanges and tooling
holes all properly aligned.
Good Luck!
Dave C.

Hi Dave
After spending hours of trying to figure things out I did exactly that and
then did an inventory check identifying each wing rib for its "hand" and
thickness as some of the ribs were not marked at all. I then found that some
of the ribs were incorrectly marked. After all of this was done I then
discovered that I had 20 Left hand ribs and no right hand ones. But all is
forgiven as Vans is sending me the correct items today. The only problem is,
I am in South Africa and it takes so long to get things here! Patience
patience!
Regards
Cliff Lotter
