| Subject: | Stabiliser ribs question |
Hi folks,
I'm wondering how you scratchbuilders went with the stab ribs end flanges.
I made mine some time ago and am at the stage of assembling the skeleton.
What I found was that the height of the end flanges needed a good 3mm trimmed off
the top and bottom to fit inside the spar flanges to clear the inside radius.
Not a huge problem, but this meant my relief holes had to be opened out to
be quite large and elongated.
What did you find?
Glenn.

Sorry, no help but a point of reference: I built mine from a kit, but
damaged on of the Stab ribs and so fabricated one from the plans. I
found that if fit perfectly.

So I am at that point where i'm attempting to fit my pre-drilled skin to the skeleton
( front/rear spar and 6 ribs)...
I'm basically having trouble lining up all the holes. I did find that towards
the outside of the stabilizer, the two spars are drawn in, closer to each other
(by about 4mm or so if i remember correctly) -- due to ribs 1 & 6 not having
a spar doubler underneath it.
I have followed the directions closely -- there is no shim to go underneath these
ribs.. how have you dealt with this? when looking at the edge of the skin
laying on the skeleton, its clear that the spar bows outwards in the center.
do i straighten out the spar somehow? how? or do i just like up the two holes
at either end of the spar.. clamp.. and start drilling?

I'm at the same point and have the same question.
Not sure how to move on.
