 Posted: Sun Apr 08, 2007 6:18 am Post subject: 701 Trailing edge rudder skin |
 |
|
I just finished riveting the rudder skeleton together. I also cut the trailing edge skin as shown in the manual. I slid the skeleton into the skin and it appears as if the skin goes past the bottom of the rear rib by 6 or 7mm at the trailing edge of the bottom rib. Is this normal? If not, should I take another 6mm off the rear skin? I don't have much of a gap between the spar and the top rib, so I think this may be part of my problem.
Is the bottom rib supposed to be snug against the spar, or can I bend it down slightly to account for this?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

Meh....never mind. I took a look at the bottom rib. I can bend it down so it lines up nicely with the skin, and it still lines up with the inside edges parallel to the spar flange.
