 |
|
Hello all,
I recently purchased an unfinished QB 10 with a completed tailcone/emp. So far quality has been great, I plan to call up vans this afternoon but wanted to run this buy all you experienced builders.
Q1. After inspecting the rudder stop brace (F-1056) I noticed additional holes in close proximity to the vertical stab attachment bolt holes. Is this going to be an issue structurally? I really don't want to drill out and replace this part because of its location, I was thinking I could put a doubler in place if it was an issue?

Q2. The bulkhead stiffeners in the last revision sent by VANS has not been done, so per vans I need to remove the aft top deck to install the stiffeners. It seems this could be done with structure blind rivets rather than removing all the top deck rivets? It seems that removing and replacing all those rivets would cause more structure fatigue than just installing the stifffeners with the blinds...
Has anyone consulted vans in doing this?

Anyway, I look forward to the next 5 years of consultation and heartache that I'm sure this project will give me

The big hole on either side belongs there, the small one looks like an oops. Those big holes are for bolts. I don't think I'd loose sleep over the small one.
