When placing the main ribs into the rear of the horizontal stab forward spar the
forward most hole in the main rib tab (flange) does not line up with the"matched
"hole in the flange of the forward spar.
I'm off about a third of the hole diameter . The rib would have to be moved further
forward to line up.
Has anyone had this problem or is it a computer mismatch at Vans.

This seems to happen when the little tab gets bent a lttle as it is being
pushed into position. Do the other holes in the rib line up? If so your
little tab is probably just bent. Use your smallest centering pin, slip it
in the hole and you should be able to re-align the tab. If all the holes in
the rib are missaligned the same amount the rib is probably not all the way
into it's proper position.
Don't be shy about calling the tech people at Van'. They are really friendly
and eager to help. They have had plenty of dumb questions from me and
havn't laughed once.
Good Luck.

Thanks John,
Good idea. I only need 2 so that would be a lot smarter than hunting a
supplier and waiting a week for delivery.

| Subject: | Rudder bottom fairing |
--> RV9-List message posted by: "Matthew Brandes" <mbrandes@irr.com>
Starting to play with the tips. So far it looks like I (we) will have to do some
reworking on them to get them to fit and look good.
Looking at the bottom fairing for the rudder and it appears that the scribe line
is off by nearly 1/2". If I cut at the scribe line, the trailing edge of the
fairing will be 1/2" behind the trailing edge of the rudder. (Rudder to far
forward)
For those of you that mounted your rudder bottom, did yours line up correctly?
Did you cut at the scribe line?

Peter, You'll soon discover that your job as the builder is to make
things fit. Don't be shy about bending, prying, and using friendly
coersion to align the parts. If you can see through the pair of holes,
they will fit. Obviously if you think something is seriously wrong, ask
Vans or post a photo, but most of the "it doesn't fit" type reports are
from empennage builders who either have something backwards (study the
blueprints) or haven't reached the all important aluminum zen yet. Line it
up, drill it, stick a rivet in it!

I cut exactly on the scribe lines and the fit was perfect.
You aren't by chance trying to slip the fairing over the rudder bottom are
you? i.e. forgetting about the screw strips you have to make? I have
heard many others report the lines to be accurate too. Any chance you got
the wrong model tip?

Dennis,
Why not go ahead and drill it out for a 4 rivet. As I recall, the only
places where you need a 3 that long are places that are not readily
seen.
Even so, one rivet out of size once painted will not be apparent.
Regards
Larry Perryman

Jim,
Sorry I've been off the net but I just got back from my yearly active duty.
At least I'm now in legal services and not in the infantry. I did get to
scrounge a great ride on a Blackhawk which was fun.
As to the paint, do you think it is a product defect? Have you tracked down
the source of the problem? If there is anything I can do to help let me
know.
Jason

Peter,
Get an awl. You'll find it is great at getting the holes aligned when
assembling parts.
