| Subject: | horizontal stab question |
Nutters, er Netters!
I have been trying to get my horizontal stab skeleton put together so I
can get it skinned. I noticed something on a few of my ribs and was
curious to see if any other builders have seen this with their tails.
Where the ribs (6T1-2) meet the rear spar (6T1-4) there should be a
tangent transition from the rib to the spar. When I align the rib on the
spar as best I can there is no way to make the top curve of the rib
gracefully transition to the spar. There is something on the order of
6mm height difference between the rib and spar. Has anyone seen this? I
have a picture that would better describe the issue but it's a little
fuzzy. http://www.steensland.net/pics/far.png
If so, how did you deal with it?

Lee, I'm afraid your picture is fuzzier than your words...
If you are talking about a *horizontal* gap, that's not an issue (this seems
to be the case, I see a ruler in the horizontal position). If it is
vertical, then it is another story...
Good luck

I just uploaded a better picture (I took it from the zenith construction
guidelines). The huge black line shows that the top surface of the rib
should be flush with the top of the spar. I get about a 6mm height
difference on 3 of my ribs.

Lee,
Unless I am seeing things wrong, I see your problem. If this photo shows the top
of the stabilizer, you have the rear spar upside down.? The upper flange of
the rear spar should project rearward to provide a fastening for the elevator
hinge.? The lower spar flange projects forward.

As Jay said, 6-T-2 skin riveting drawing shows it quite clearly.
