| Subject: | F-6111-L&R Stiffeners |
Can anyone offer any good tips on fitting the stiffeners to the upper forward aft
skin from the aft baggage bulkhead down to the longeron for a slider? I can't
seem to get any kind of fit that seems acceptable and the drawing and plans
on this are pretty worthless.
Thanks

Sully,
I don't really have any great tips. Mine didn't turn out perfect. I will
agree that the instructions are lacking here. I assume that the tooling
holes are for trimming to. I trimmed a little off both ends, to
approximately where the tooling holes are because I've never seen tooling
holes in the finished product. Then I just used the portion of the
stiffener that fit the curves the best. I ended up with them being a little
shorter than some. Mine come about 3/16" short of the longeron and don't hit
the very last hole at the upper rear side. I don't think it matters though.
I seem to recall some RV6s don't even have them installed at all.
One picture of mine is all I can find right now, included.

Sully,
I did mine like Bevan. If you're going to have a
baggage cover leave a 1/4" off the longeron. Start off
cutting out flush with the tooling holes. I called
Van's about the top tying in with the top at the
bulkhead. They stated it was not necessary.
Good Luck

I think I remember just having to fight it! At least knowing there is not
an easier way might help you just go ahead and get through it.

Guys,
Thanks for the replies, Bevan yours look a lot better than mine, I was trying to
make them pick up the uppermost hole common to the bulkhead flange, I think
I'll pitch that idea and let them stop past the last skin hole.

Yep, twist the crap out of it and do not trim off much material, angle the
bottom to fit snug on top of the longeron and don't obsess about it because
it is just a stiffener. The rib also requires some serious fluting. Go
slow a little at a time and yeah, I had to buy one extra to get it right.
Good Luck CJ
