--> RV7-List message posted by: Charlie England <ceengland@bellsouth.net>
Greetings, those who have gone before,
I'm clecoing the mid section bottom skin to the seat & baggage ribs,
trying to interpret the drawings on dwg22 (view C-C).
My F623L & R ribs have a joggle on the outside vertical flange where it
meets the F705 bulkhead. The joggle seems intended to allow a rivet to
tie the side skin, f705 bulkhead & the outside flange of the F623
together. However, view C-C (side view of this point) seems to show the
F623 rib being cut off just short of the F705 bulkhead flange. If I cut
nothing, I'll have a joggle in the bottom skin (obviously wrong). If I
cut as shown in view C-C, I'm cutting off a joggle in the flange that
Van's went to the trouble of adding to the rib.
My 1st thought is to cut the inside flange & horizontal surface of the
F623 & leave the joggled tab for riveting to F705. Should I do something
different?
Bonus question1: The instructions say to cut a 1 1/2" hole in one of the
baggage ribs if you intend to add a step. Is there any harm in cutting
this hole if no step is planned? (grams add up to ounces add up to
pounds....)
Bonus question2: Any harm in enlarging the back tooling holes in the
seat ribs to 5/8", like the front ones? (possible future wiring path, if
needed)
Thanks,
Charlie

Charlie I can answer Bonus question 1. No step installed, no holed be
drilled. Weight is not that big of a deal if you install a 360CID Lycoming.
Bonus question 2. Yes enlarge the holes. It is amazing how much wiring
space is needed. Add this up. Manual trim cable, Tail strobe and Nav
light. Then if you put the ELT or Altitude hold.
As for the flange recheck the instruction or call Van's for help before you
cut anything off.
