Paul,
Personal opinion is don't worry about it.. mine did the same thing and
everything comes into alignment when you rivet it together. Just make
sure the flanges are 90 degree's and go with it.
BTW, your moving quick.... I check you log every day. You keep up the
pace and you'll be flying soon! :-)

Yes,
As long as you have fluted them so that the edges of the rib sit flat on a
table (flange up). If they are not sitting flat, go back and flute some
more to get them there. Once flat they will fit correctly. Do not worry
about the center of the rib. it's only purpose is to hold the flange in
place. It does not have to be flat.

Has anyone figured out any tricks to fitting this strip between the leading edge
skin and inboard rib in preparation of drilling? This is the strip that protrudes
from the edge of the skin for latter attachment to the tank. When I asked
Van's they told me to "yell and scream alot." Thanks in advance.

Glenn,
Place the Leading edge on the main spar. Cleco everything down except the
last few leading edge holes to main spar. Also recommend having at least the
top skin on or the bottom, just to straighten the spar out. The W919 strip
is longer that what is needed. Locate the nose area on the W919, not exactly
the middle. Start to work the bend into the W919. I then placed the W919 in
the skin without the rib. I used several clamps to clamp the bottom side of
skin and W919 making sure the left/right measurement was correct (I believe
5/8 of an inch, I check the print DWG 9 SECTION D-D and it measures 7/8 of
an inch). I drilled several of the holes from spar to nose on the skin and
clocoing as I went, about 2/3. I then removed to clean out the chips. Then
replace on skin, cleco and clamp. Now you need a 1 1/2 inch or maybe 2 inch
Dia. piece of PVC about 4 inches long. Clamp the PVC in the nose - tight.
Drill the rest of the bottom holes from spar to nose. If there is no gap
between the W919 and the skin with the PVC in place, then clamp the W919 to
the top part of the skin from nose to spar - reverse direction. Drilling and
clecoing as you go.
Be sure not to over bend the W919 during the hand bending. All from memory
June 2003

Glen,
Try this.
Mark a center line down the strip. I hope you have not dimpled the holes
on the leading edge outboard skin yet. It helps to have it flat still.
Bend the strip around the leading edge so that it takes the general shape
of the leading edge.
Make sure that the strip is long enough to reach around evenly.
Mark the location of the most outboard hole of the leading edge (near the
nose).
Measure how far the holes are from the edge of the skin and mark another
line on the strip that is the same distance from the center line you put
on earlier.
Drill a pilot hole in the strip where the hole mark line crosses the
second line .
Now cleco it into place on the inside of the LE skin. You should be able
to see the second line through the holes along the edge of the skin.
Drill and cleco them from the leading edge going back to the spar.
You will have to trim the length so that it just touches the spar flange.
there is not enough room to go between the skin and the spar flange.
Now go to the other side of the wing.
Push the strip until it conforms to the shape of the nose of the leading
edge.
Mark the length so that is close to the spar flange and cut to length.
Drill and cleco the strip to the rest of the leading edge skin.
Slide the tank over the strip.
Secure the tank with a few screws to the spar.
Drill to match
Install the plate nuts and finish as normal.
That is my best advice but remember that I did it almost two years ago and
going off memory.
Also buffing a slight taper on the edge that will go between the skin and
the rib will help get it started. It will fit no matter what it appears to
do.

Larry Perryman

Larry,
I did almost exacly what you discribed.... It worked great..!!
My only question is how you installed the platenuts.. The joint
strip is (I think 20 thousands thick) Do you dimple the rivet holes,
or countersink??
Thanks Paulo

Hey Glenn,
I just got finished with this task and manage to barely keep my religion. In
retrospect, it was a bitch. Like I heard somebody suggest before: if you
mess with it long enough, it will fit into place. I have seen on a few
builders' sites that they trimmed the strip an inch shorter that the leading
edge skin on either side. So that's what I did and I'm still guessing
whether that is right. The plans do not deal with this. If you are
interested, I posted this on my website at:
http://www.hooverandassociatesinc.com/aviation/RV-9A/wings/currently.htm
Hope this helps.

Mike, thanks to you and the others that replied. Like I said in a later
post, I finally did get it in. To answer your question about the length, I
did talk to Van's about that because I could not find it in the plans
either, and they told me it should come down approx to the edge and just
above the spar on either sides. Thanks again for everyone's input. Glenn

I just purchased an O-290 to power my RV-9. (Great deal that I couldn't
pass up.)
If any of the rest of you have installed or are planning to install an
O-290, I would love to hear from you.
The engine is low time (~750 hours TT) but is in need of an overhaul.
I've ordered the OH manual from Lycoming and will do the rebuild myself
but what I would really like to know what others have gone through as
Van's doesn't have much information about the installation of this
engine.
Thanks.

Good timing because last week I trashed the first one and used the strip
for the second wing. That was another item to add to my collection of
dead RV-9 parts.
What I did the second time around was to line up the rib with the end of
the skin, drill & cleco it w/o the band strip in place. I then drew a
line on both sides of the band the thickness of the tip rib webbing and
measured and drilled the first hole (Aft most hole) in the band and
celecoed that one and only hole to the outside of the skin w/ the rib in
place. I then bent the band so it roughly conformed to the leading
edge, watching the line to make sure it was "square" while I bent it. I
then removed the tip rib and carefully match drilled the band to the
leading edge w/o the rib in place. Once that was done it was simply a
matter of deburring & dimpling them before going on to the fuel tank.
As for the p-nuts, I match drilled them to the fuel tank then match
drilled the p-nut rivet holes while it was still on the leading edge and
the fuel tank was removed (duh!). I then dimpled the band and the
p-nuts and riveted them in place with the band still clecoed in place
between the rib and the skin.
I hope this helps.
BTW, don't worry about the fuel tanks, they aren't as bad as everyone
would make you believe. Just have LOTS of gloves around and keep
changing them when they get junked up. That will keep your tank, tools
and you much cleaner. I'm riveting the tank ribs at a rate of one a
night so I can take my time. The entire process takes about 45 minutes
including prep and clean up.
Good luck and keep riveting.

Mike, thanks to you and the others that replied. Like I said in a later
post, I finally did get it in. To answer your question about the
length, I did talk to Van's about that because I could not find it in
the plans either, and they told me it should come down approx to the
edge and just above the spar on either sides. Thanks again for
everyone's input. Glenn in Arizona

I just bought a squeezer and two yokes. That's somethin' ain't it? My duff
