The inboard end of each cap has a critical distance from the end of the spar to the first holes of the WAF - the RR design has very little spare here - certainly less than 1/4" ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo!

Alook at the WAF's gives some indication of the load that they were designed to bear. I was more surprised at the coment that they were there for fore /aft support - they are even weaker in this direction. I think they are perfectly adequate for the portion of the load (vertical) delegated to their location (.75c) if they are built to plane with the correct materials and adhesive. The rotational (torsional) forces are in the shear capacity of the skin - very important to consider when adding /changing flap or aileron sizes or proportions that differ from the design and impose different "twisting" forces to the wing. ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo!

There is absolutely no forward aft movement of the rear spar once the glassing is complete. If there is. I would not fly it.

It was very expensive, and I will be glad to take pics of the one that I have for carb heat for you. It is the same box. Let me know if you think that will help.

I dressed accordingly and began working on my plane. I installed the gap seals between the outboard and stub wings. I then removed the cowl and adjusted my mixture screw. Next, I set the timing on my engine. I just wonder what the wind chill was behind the prop while I was doing that. My cheeks were frigid. After that, I re-installed the cowl and headed out for some taxi runs. I spent six hours out in the cold with my plane today and am very close to being ready for that first flight. Next weekend we are supposed to be in the low 40s so just maybe it will be the magic time.
