Hi All,
I've got my first tank clecoed together and on the wing, but after
clecoing through the attach angles and skin-spar platenuts, I still
have about 1/32" gap between the tank skin and top/bottom main skins.
My LE is butting up perfectly by comparison.
Should I try to tighten this up before drilling, or not?
Seems like the platenut-cleco setup is not pulling the skins as
tight as they could be. And then some people in the archives say
a gap is good...?
And now for a gotcha I didn't see in the archives anywhere... I used
to have a 1/8" gap, but it was due to the inside of a few skin-baffle
clecoes just barely impacting the top spar reinforcing bar. I'm
pretty slow, it took me about an hour to realize what was going on!
Tanks, :)
Paul

Oh, another random question: I checked my wing for twist as instructed
and found that it had a little more than allowed, about 1/4".
Unfortunately the manual doesn't say what to do about it...just clamp
it in a better position on the rear spar supports and move on?

It was going to be a top choice for me, just wanted to double check and see
if you still liked it, and look at yours.
Back to skin dimpling! (lots of holes you QB guy!)

Yes. As far as assets, Affordable Panels is small so there is no problem
there.

Paul
I concur with your approach to clamp your rear spar supports in a better
position to remove as much wing twist as possible. I was able to get my
twist down to about 1/2 of the 3/32 allowable. It is difficult to measure
any closer than that.

Are your skins clecoed on? Once the skins go on, there should be very
little twist (washout) in the wing. Mine measured .060.

Well, the point in the directions where it told me to measure it had
the top skins, LE, and tank on, but bottom skins off. There is quite a lot
of flex still possible in the wing in that configuration.

Paul,
Mine was off a bit more than I liked (1/4") so I put a .025 thick piece of
aluminum about 1" square under the inboard spar under the top spar
reinforcing bar where the spar contacts my support angle iron to make it
straighten up. Raising one flange of the spar only a little bit makes a big
difference two feet down to the rear spar This worked just fine. I'm within
3/64" now. Hope this helps.

Hi Mike,
That's probably a better idea, especially since I just realized that
my wing stand arms may not be perfectly parallel with each other any
more. My stand has gotten bumped out of it's original position, and
the wood has been drying and warping for a couple of months now...
Thanks
Paul
