See DWG 38 Rear Spar Trim Detail" Don't have DWG 38 yet but preview plans gives the dimensions to trim the W-707G Rear Spar Reinf. Fork and W-707D Rear Spar Doubler Plate. Seems it would be best to trim those before assembly of the rear spar. Comments? Nothing in the archives.

This worked out fine on my wings. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv7-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv7-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Allen Fulmer Subject: RV7-List: Wing Rear Spar trim detail --> RV7-List message posted by: "Allen Fulmer" RV7 Rear spar preparations DWG 10A Wing Exploded View Detail C says "RV-7/7A Builder Only!

The Vans dimensions suggest to take out too much metal and this can give you problems with edge distance from a very critical wing bolt. Save the trimming till you actually mate the wings with the fuselage, and then only trim enough off to get the wing to sit flush with fuselage, then drill the bolt holes. Its a case of fit, file a bit, fit, file a bit,etc till you get flush fit with maximum metal left on the rear spar for the bolt hole.
