 Posted: Sat Apr 20, 2013 10:48 pm Post subject: "Matched" wings to spars |
 |
|
In my building process I built the fuselage kit after the empennage kit by ordering the spar box kit with the fuse kit.
I later bought a QB wing kit from another builder.
There was concern expressed by some that I might have difficulties by not having the wing spar and spar box "matched" by serial number set.
Van's said it shouldn't be a problem even though they still recommend a matched set, so it always lingered in the back of my mind that I could get caught in a pickle. However, I am happy (and relieved) to report that at initial mating everything lined up perfectly.
At least with the 10, (and I assume beyond), the Van's fabrication process is so accurate that the venerable practice of matching the components is unnecessary.

Certain holes are oversized, different for each of us and noted on a form with the extra bolts. Did all hole diameters match on yours?

Just curious, but you're saying that some of the wing attach bolt holes were drilled oversized and annotated as such? I mated my wings a few weeks ago and don't recall anything anywhere indicating oversized holes. My wings were SB--is this a QB thing?

I can't imagine why any holes would be non-standard unless there was a flaw discovered that they re-drilled to salvage. I think that would definitely require paperwork and close scrutiny. Everything matched on mine except the serial numbers.
