I'm assembling the tailcone on my -10 and came to a  question in the instructions.� On page 10-4 steps 3,4 the instructions say  to assemble the frame halves with the left half in front of the right  half.� Meanwhile, the picture shows it the opposite of that with the right  half in front of the left half.� Anybody else stumbled upon  this???

I have that page of the plans dated 9/16/03. The plans are correct, as well as the picture. I can't see any issue there.

 (Hint: the flanges point toward the front of the plane, so the left is indeed in front of the right in the aircraft)

 

 Attached is the figure from my plans.

It's okay in the plans.� Mine are dated 9/16/03.�  It all depends on what the "front" is.� Look at the wire frame picture at  the front of Section 10 and you'll see that the flanges are pointing towards the  front of the plane, which is always the�definition of front.� Took me  awhile to�figure that out, too.��

Sections 1-5 are 8.5” x 11” pages that contain general construction information.� You should have them someplace!

Sections 1-5 are the construction manual that also ships with the Emp kit.

It's the Van's general building info.  Comes in a regular 8-1/2x11"

format and has tips on riveting, fasteners, torque, and many

other things.  I think it's the front end to all the kits.

If you didn't get it, let me know and I can get you what I got.

Section 1-5 come with the easy button from Staples, you  mean you did not get this already? It is a must have to finish the plane, I got  one for Christmas and you would be amazed at how quickly the build goes every  time I push the button!

 �

 Actually sec 1-5 is the construction techniques, and is on  8.5 x 11 paper, and should have other papers with it, like an RMA form and such.  I got a binder from Wally World to put papers in, and also ordered an 11x18 hard  cover 3 ring binder, because the one Vans sends covers the inside of each page,  and they are easier to see in the big binder, plus you can remove just the pages  you are working on.

To add to this, after working on the kit for a while I went to plain old three ring binders and folded each sheet in half.� Have 5 to 10 sections in each binder.� I leave the page I am working on folded out and since I work on more than one section at a time it works as a book mark.� I would recommend that you get a box of paper A** H**** (reinforcement rings), in more than occasion I have ripped pages out of the binders and for that matter the binder Vans provided.
