 |

Greetings:
Ref: LEFT Elevator (RV8-A)
My Dwg 4PP, Rev 1 (older Dwg) for the Elevator gives "dimensions" for the location of the Elevator Stiffeners (My Elevator Skin [E-601PP-L] is NOT prepunched for the Stiffener locations). Using the dimensions on Dwg 4PP places the 4th Stiffener IN from the LEFT Elevator TIP in the SAME location as E-606PP (Elevator Trim Spar) by about 7/16". (Other words, the Stiffener crosses the Elevator Trim Spar 7/16" in from the tip of the Trim Spar.)
Have checked and rechecked the measurements per Dwg 4PP and they are good, so others must have run into this same problem. It seems to me that the solution is to move the Stiffener location out 1/8" from the end of the Elevator Trim Spar (now the Stiffeners will not be separated by an equal distance).
The other solution would be to cut this Stiffener in two pieces so it bridges the Elevator Trim Spar (now the Stiffeners can be equally spaced). This method seems less desirable as a one piece Stiffener will have more strength than a 2 piece Stiffener.
What did you Builders do that had this same problem ?????
