Hello,
I've seen a couple threads on this issue but none had any closure so I'm hoping someone with experience (or maybe from from Van's) can chime in...
My problem is that J stiffener F-1283B doesn't sit flush against the bottom right skin F-01282-R-1 when installed per the plans page 10iS/U-06
I checked the corresponding part on the left skin (F-1283A & F-01282-L-1) and it fits right up against the skin as I'd expect.
I checked the radius of the two J stiffeners F-1283A & B and they look to be identical
Next I checked the radius on the skins (as measured by the distance from the holes on the web to the vertical portion of the flange) and the radius on the two skins is definitely different
Here is the offending right skin F-01282-R-1
And the correct (I assume?) left skin F-01282-L-1
Another thread on this topic suggested the stiffener on the right skin should go on the OUTside of the skin and I agree the radius fits better but then the holes don't line up and the plans clearly show in figure 2 that the J-stiffener F-1283B goes inside the skin F-01282-R-1 for riveting.
Does anyone have any suggestions or experience here?
Also, on a related issue F-1284-R & -L seem to be mislabeled in figure 4 on page 10iS/U-03? The L / R designation shown on that page does not match the L/R orientation shown on page 10iS/U-06.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
