| Subject: | Problem with upper front strut fitting |
Folks,
Construction on my 701 has gone slowly but steadily since 2003, with no
major problems until now. I am building from the full kit purchased in
the fall of 2003. I am currently working on the right wing skins,
following the current version of the photo assembly guide. I am at the
point where I am attempting to install the 7V8-4SP strut angle (it is
mislabeled as 7V8-3SP in the upper photo in Section 4A, page 9 of 12,
wing nose skin). My first hint of a problem was that the location of the
cutout for the 7V2-5 front upper strut fitting in the nose skin was
located too far toward the wing tip to match my required location. I
needed to shift the location by about 10 mm toward nose rib #4, which I
did. After installing the nose skin and bolting the strut fitting in
place, I discovered that the 7V8-4SP strut angle would not fit under the
7V2-5 strut fitting as shown in the attached photo.
The source of the problem was that the spar web doubler and associated
strut angle 7V2-4 assembly was installed so that the outboard edge of
the web doubler is at station 2255 instead of at 2260 as specified on
drawing 7-V-2. This effectively places the entire assembly 5 mm closer
to the wing root than it should be. This assembly was done by Zenith.
All other measures are OK, including rib station locations and the angle
of the strut fitting. I hope there is a way to salvage things without
trashing my entire wing assembly.
As anybody out there encountered a similar problem, and if so, what was
the fix?
Help!
