Hi Everyone
Sorry for so many questions, but this one has us stumped.
We have cut the 0.063 3/4 x 3/4 angles that are used to attach many of the ribs to the spar. We have then marked the rib stations onto the spar. This as we do not have the premade spars.
When we then put the angles at theses stations, the holes that will have to be drilled through the angle to pic up the 3/16 pre drilled holes in the spar are either on one extreme side of the angle or the other, which either gives us no edge distance or no space to put a bolt through.
Our plan was to just drill the holes through the middle of the angle but how do we then know that this will place the ribs in the right place to pick up the predrilled holes in the wing skin? Should we rather measure the predrilled skin holes now and use those measurements to place the angles and ribs?
How did you guys make sure that once your ribs were placed that they would align with the holes in the predrilled wing skin?
I hope this makes sense and would really as always appreciate any help
Thank you so much
