Well I have a new guy question: has anyone seen the HS-609PP reinforcement bars lay in the HS-603PP rear spar with little to no radiusing to accommodate the bend in the spar flange?
I?ve just started working on my horizontal stab and have run some scotchbrite over the -609 parts to get the tooling marks out and give it the satin finish the plans call for. I?ve also broken the edges and radiused the ends to knock down the corners but it seems my -609s will lay flat against the spar without any shaping done to accommodate the spar flange. I have them currently cleco?d together with a cleco in every third or fourth hole and they seem to lay flat with no major effort needed to cleco the assembly (other than the hole still being undersized since I haven?t drilled anything yet).
I?m fully adhearing to the adage ?I don?t know what I don?t know,? but it seems to read to me as an as needed step to achieve a flat mating while maintaining hole alignment. Is there something really obvious I overlooked?
