(Mike Duiven) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 02:16:48 PM PST US From: Don and Shirley Subject: RV9-List: W-919 Joint Plate question. --> RV9-List message posted by: Don and Shirley The directions call for inserting the W-919 joint plate (a 1.5 inch wide strip of metal that joins the leading edge to the fuel tank) between the W- 901 skin and the W-908 rib. I can understand that well enough. Looking at plan view and comparing it with section D-D on Drawing 9 I'm having a difficult time figuring out where to end joint plate. My best guess is the joint plate is as long as the rib and stops just short of the spar. When I look at the section drawing it appears that the joint plate covers the plate nut. The plan view seems to end it short of the spar and platenut. The plans call for the joint plate to be 36 long which will definitely extend it well beyond the spar. If it extends to the spar it looks likely to cause a minor bulge there. My question for those of you who have built the wings or are still working on them, how far did you extend the joint plate?

As you indicated you would end up with a bump if the strip ocerlaps the spar. I extended mine just far enough to cover all of the rivet/platenut locations on the leading edge skin and fuel tank skin without overlapping the main spar.

Anything past the last rivet in leading edge/bolt in fuel tank is un necessary from a structural perspective. I think the 36" is the length of the material from which the joint plate is to be constructed.
