 Posted: Tue Oct 28, 2008 5:48 pm Post subject: 601XL Aileron Skin Rivet Pattern Question |
 |
|
The diagram at the left-center of plans page 6-W-2 specifies the rivet pattern for the front of the aileron skin to the front flanges of the ribs: 3 rivets A4, pitch 25mm from the top, then 22mm to each of the next 2 rivets. However, this does not look like the correct rivet pattern for the aileron tip (6W2-4) because it has a longer front flange. I do not see any notes in the plans specific to the rivet pattern for this flange, and I have an older kit without the pre-drilled holes. Could someone who has the pre-drilled holes please check the pitch and number of rivets and send me this information?
Thanks,
Dave Van Lanen

Dave,
I just measured mine, from the top for the mid position ribs 12mm, then 35mm, then 35mm (3 rivets). The end rib has 15mm, then 42mm, then 52mm (3 rivets). These were predrilled holes.
Hope that helps.
