I really don't understand why Vans puts these confusing remarks on their drawings.
On DWG 27 View A-A, they say:
"double check !! for edge distance on both VS-410PP and WD-409"
Yes, I don't exagerate, with two exclamation marks behind it.
On the drawing, you should drill the bolt at 3/8" from the edge of WD409.
Am I missing something or did the minimal edge distance of 2D get reduced for AN4-6A bolts ?
The longeron to bottom hinge bracket should be at 7" 11/32.
Mine is much more than that as I needed that for straightening out the hinges for the rudder. My vertical rear spars rests on the WD-409 so there it's really at the absolute max down position.
But no way you can ever get more on both sides than 0.390" ED which is way below the 0.500.
I know that tolerances are much more on steel parts than on aluminum but why the **** do they always need to create confusion on those plans.
Sorry for the ventilation of frustration. I just needed to get this out of me.
