Can any using a Stratus EA-81 and a Rocky Mountain EIS say where and how you made your Tach connections. I know there are 2 ways to go about it and I was looking for some ideas as to what everyone thought was best. Thanks, Steve (I could be taxiing very soon) Freeman ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:01:03 PM PST US From: "H.

On my Edition 4 plans for the 701, wing dwg. 7-V-11, there are several rib channels (vertical U shaped pieces) which attach to the rear ribs No. 1 and 2 and the main spar to laterally hold the fuel tank in place. The U channel that is on the outboard side of rear rib No. 1 and to the rear of the spar as shownin the lower left of dwg. 7-V-11, second plan detail up, is indicated to be at Station 300. The rib itself is attached at Station 280. At station 300, the factory has already riveted the spar root doubler (7V3-2SP) to the spar. There no room to move the rib channel outboard as there is lightening hole immediately adjacent. It would appear that the four middle A5 rivets that the factory installed attaching the doubler to the spar should be temporarily removed so that this U channel can be put in place and then re-rivetted. This doesn't seem right - why would the factory install the rivets in the first place? Have any of you run into this problem or am I misreading the plans? I would have written the ZAC, but I figured they were on their way to Sun n Fun and wouldn't be available with an answer for up to two weeks. Thanks for your help.
