 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

Hi Dave
I checked my drawing and there is no mention of the front of the outboard rib. All of my construction photos don't show it, but I believe I hit the rib flange at 10MM and spaced the others evenly as there was no mention of it in the drawing or manual. My wings are at the field and will be a awhile before I get to them. Mine is also an older version
