| Subject: | FLUTING Ribs to match desired taper of VS |
Greetings:
Have an '"older" empennage and instructions dating
back to 1999. Understand RV-7, 8 and 9 have the same
Vert Stabilizer. Is there anything in the "Newer
Instructions" about about tapering (angling) the
flanges of the VS Ribs to match the desired contour
(taper) of the VS ???
Thanks, Garey

I think the only thing you should be doing to the flanges is making sure th
ey are 90 degrees to the rib AND fluting them to make sure the ribs, laying
flat, are parallel to the flat surface (no humps or "ski jumps", etc). No
t sure what you mean by angling to match the contour of the VS. The VS sho
uld take the contour of the rib. Maybe I'm missing something.

You will need to change the angle of the flange
slightly. When building mine, I determined that from
the spar rearward, I would be good to go bending the
flange at 90 degrees. From the spar forward, I used a
flashlight shining through the skin onto the rib to
see if I needed to open the bend slightly. If you see
light between the rib and skin, open the bend at that
point. Not much bend is needed, but I found a little
helped a lot.
