The ribs in my empennege kit, at least the HS ribs, all came pre-fluted.  I did not think this was the norm - is it??  The job was done well enough that no additional work was necessary.

I had some parts on my HS that were pre fluted also (I think they were the 

ribs but cannot remember for sure).

I am at the rib stage of my -8 HS and they are not fluted , but appear to need very little fluting,

  just working with them to make them the best I can,

Hi Paul,



I bought my tail kit about a year ago.  Definitely not pre-fluted.  I can't 

imagine that they would take the time to do that.  ? Pre-owned kit?

I'm not surprised. Vans seems to make constant improvements as far as ease

of construction. The instructions on my RV-9A tail kit said that the

elevator horns had to "aligned" for drilling into the spar and end rib

since the holes are not pre-drilled in the spar and rib. Went I went to do

this part, I found that the holes were already drilled. COOL!

I work at Alexander Tech Center as an instructor on the tail kit program.

Some of the RV9 and RV10 HS ribs come fluted.

It was not a pre-owned kit.  I bought it in June, actually, but had to take a 5.5 month hiatus from the project.
