The skins come bent pretty tight, I followed the new pictorial assembly guidance. When I got to trimming for the outboard tips, the dimensions in the drawing (640-a-1) just didn't make sense. The rib 4 rivet line is 195mm inboard of the untrimmed edge, the detail says add 15 mm to the rivet line and start the cut, which should be no more than 135mm from out board edge. 135+15 is 150mm, not 195. Anyway, cutting in 135mm would have you cutting into the hinge. So I made a conservative add of 15mm from the end of the hinge, then drew straight lines to the corner of the bottom trailing edgeand to a point 40mm back from the top bend. that is someting on the order of 120mm cut back. Started to try to fit the aileron tip cap on and it just isn't going to fit. Cutting deeper would make the problem worse. Did anyone have any trouble figuring out how to trim the tip, or did you trim it to match the finished wing? -------- Craig Smith CH640 builder SN: 0078 "Just think how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half of them are even stupider!" --George Carlin Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=344095#344095 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message zenith640-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Zenith640-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/zenith640-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/zenith640-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
