When you are working on the top and bottom skins, towards the rear... potentially
getting ready to squeeze rivet the trailing edge, I discovered quite by accident
that
one can cleco the entire trailing edge onto a nice straight wood 2x2, thereby keeping
the whole thing straight and true. The clecos will bite into the wood a do a great
job of securing a true trailing edge line.
I'll post some "wing construction" pictures on our website in the next few weeks
as
work and the 701 permit. see http://ThePlaneFolks.Net

I'm just finishing up my right 701 wing. On the left wing I think I am
going to draw the 10 mm rivit drill line in from the flat side of each rib
so that the holes align better with the predrilled holes in the spar and the
skins. Make sure you get the photo construction manual for the wing from
the ZAC site - it's immensely helpful. Hap Schoenberger

Yesterday I got my 912S powered HD in the air...The first time since early
November. It was also my first flight with the wheel pants on the plane and
they stayed on!!(not that I really thought they would fall off).
I tell you it felt just like my first flight last August but without the
test pilot pucker factor! I thought about it all last night too.
You guys getting close to completion will soon know the feeling, and those
just starting...PRESS ON.

Hi,
Is there anyone using the Jabiru 3300 engine that would be in western
Washington? Would like to see one in a flying status.
Comments also welcome.

Greetings listers
Concerning wing construction on the 601 XL;
The photo guides on laying out the "L" stiffeners in regards to RR1 offers a
"suggestion" for riveting the L angle on the inside of the flange to avoid
interference with the fuselage skin, but the prints say to lay them out on the
out side and trim them to 15 MM. to clear the fuselage skin. What is everyone's
2 cents on this one? My opinion is to layout and rivet them on the inside of
the rib, that way no trimming or distortion of the stiffener occurs. The
construction manual says the prints always supercede the photo guide but? And which
side should the rivet head be on if I choose to place them on the inside of
the rib?
