 |
|
Greetings:
Ref - RV-8A:
When trying to attach the Elev Horn Weldment to the Elev Spar and Root Rib, the Weldment did NOT lay flat against the Spar and Root Rib simultaneously. Measured the Weldment's angle of 68 degrees. The angle formed by the Spar and Root Rib is 70 degrees. Inorder to get the Weldment angle to spread from 68 degrees to 70 degrees, MUCH force is needed. This does not seem right as too much stress would be applied to the Spar / Root Rib / Weldemnt combination.
Both Left and Right Weldments measure 68 degrees. (I have an OLDER Kit, so maybe this could be the problem where the NEWER Kit is 70 degrees.)
Has anybody else experienced this and how did you handle it ??
Appreciate your help !!!!

I adjusted the position of the root rib to match the angle of the weldment.
