This will account for the outer spars being about1.3mm less in total height due to the fact that they make contact with the skin a little further aft than the centre spars (leading edge of spar).I know I could just trim off 2.5mm from the top and bottom of the spar but am conserned with how close the waf attach bolts will come to the edge.I have also worked out that if I move the airfoil back about 28mm relative to the spars, they will fit perfectly. Of course the C of G will move back by the same amount.The way I see it, this solution has more advantages than disadvantages: 1: I end up with a spar that is stronger by a long way over the standard RAF 48 spar due to two factors namely they are taller by default (18% airfoil) and slightly oversise. 2: with the C of G 28mm further back it makes getting the C of G in the right place easier due to these planes tendency to be tail heavy. As for the front spar, it was built with slightly deeper spar caps and can be trimmed appropiately without ending up weaker than required. The only possible drawback that I see is now the spar will not be positioned over the centre of lift of the airfoil as well as before. I know VERY LITTLE about this and for all I know it might not even be an issue at all. Please guys, let me have any and all concerns with this remedy as I really don't want to build a new rear centre spar. Somebody please tell me I am stressing over nothing.

I'm in the middle of building a new house and I could use the money. It has a Continental 0200A that is fully certified. I have all logs for it since new. The aircraft has VFR instruments and standard engine guages. I have a set of Dheil fiberglass main gear legs I will let go with it. It needs some cosmetic work here and there. There are some pictures at: http://mywebpage.netscape.com/rlwno7/index.html It looks better now than in the pictures. The instrument panel has been refinished and I've put an almost new wood prop on it since then. I will sell it for the value of the firewall forward. $7000.00.

I am curious, how much would it take to convert to the EJ 22, do you have any ideas please let me know.
