 Posted: Mon Feb 18, 2008 1:19 pm Post subject: RV-10 Wing Spar question |
 |
|
I just started my wing kit today. When I started to cleco the spar extensions to the spar, I noticed that they weren’t square. The last 24% or so of the spar width, the joint starts to get larger to the point there is about an 1/8” gap and the end isn’t too well aligned.
I’ve attached pictures for reference.
Should I be concerned?
I’ve copied Van’s Support on this as well, but they are closed for President’s Day and was hoping to get some other opinions on the subject.
Thanks,
Bob

Mine have a slight gap but nothing like yours.. there is a 1/16 gap but it's consistent along the whole way, not like yours that appear to be crooked.

Bob,
Mine was similar..cleco the skins to the spar and see how it lines up. If I recall it was not an issue after the skins were put on with clecos..everything lined up all right.

Bob, it's a little hard to tell from the pictures, but from what I can
see the problem appears to be with the bend/radius on the extensions.
If they were bent improperly there will be a difference in the
alignment of the holes that are drilled/punched into the spar caps for
attachment of the wing skins. When you look at the holes in the main
spar caps and lay a straight edge through the center of them, does it
contact/overlay the holes in the extensions at precisely the same place?

I'm not sure what to make of the gap that Pascal noted between the main
spar and the extension, I'm not sure how much of the load is carried by
having the pieces butted flush versus through the doublers. Here's a
link to what mine looked like at the time.

I concur, my attachment piece looks the same as yours Deems.
I forget if the placement of the doublers plays a piece in the alignment as
well. Have you tried moving the doublers around and seeing if they fit any
better?

There doesn't appear to be much room to play with. Once the clecos are in,
they don't move at all. I'm going back out in a few minutes to determine if
it's the spar extender or the spar itself that may not be square.
Interesting enough, the gap is on the top of one spar and the bottom of the
other, so I suspect the problem is with the extenders since they are
identical parts.
It will be interesting to see what Van's say tomorrow when they open.

"I suspect the problem is with the extenders since they are identical parts"
By "identical" I assume you know there is a specific 1006E-L and a 1006E-R
extender right?
As long as the "extra hole" is in the right place on the outside bottom of
both extenders you have the correct orientation. Just seems odd that there
is the bottom and top gaps, makes me wonder what would happen if your
switched them.
