Great write-up. Thanks!

 You ask Van's support what they thought? If so, what was the response?  I have had great success with them thus far.

Dave,



Although I can see what you mean with how this can happen, my question

is, are you saying that this problem has a high likelyhood given

that the builder actually follows the directions and moves the part

1/8" above the bulkhead in the first place as per the directions?

I don't disagree that it might be easier to get that lower brace

mated up to the longerons properly if you attached and drilled it

at a later step...but I'm also thinking that if the builder just

reads the plans and does that first step properly, the chance that

they'll have any major problem is pretty small given the matched-hole

construction.  I'm not doubting that it's still a possibility, but

it seems that it should be one of the more uncommon things that

could be encountered.



Like I said though, if people just matched that part up and drilled

it later as you're suggesting, I think that would prevent the issue

altogether too.  I just don't know how worried people should be as long

as they follow the procedures exactly. Also, if they did have a gap,

and that angle actually was flat against the skin above but just not

fully touching the longeron,  I wonder if a shim would take care of

the gap too?  The catch is, I can't picture people being so far off

in that part to cause a gap big enough to easily find thin enough

shim stock.



Glad your friend caught it and showed you though and that you took

the time to write it up.  I could add it to the tailcone gotchas

section on my site if you'd like...at least as a thinking point.

     Attached is a problem that I had, and would never have caught had I 

 not had an experience builder look over my project. It is not the type 

 of thing I would think most builders would catch or understand the 

 implications unless they would know that there could be an issue.

  

     Please review what I have put together and comment. Sorry that 

 the drawings and explanation may not be completely clear so I would like 

 to hear you comments and will change based on everyone's feedback.

Folks,



I actually think that this is a fine example of how great the list is and

how conscientious folks are about building safe.  I encourage you to put it

on the gotches part of your site, Tim.  One person having this problem is

one too many.  When I got to this stage, I made sure that the spacer did

fill the gap properly.  Mine came out correctly, but it never occurred to me

that there could be the chance that it could possibly come out incorrectly

and to make sure folks paid attention to it.  



Dave, I'll put your write up on my builder's page as a precaution.  Nice

job!
