My Rocket was ground looped prior to my ownership and apparently the damage is more extensive than originally disclosed. The left outboard aileron hinge was reworked and reinstalled in the incorrect location. The good news is that this part is easy to fabricate, and the better news is that it neatly explains my wing heavy/roll trim issue.
The bad news is the outer wing rib is in bad shape and I'm going to have to replace part of it (also easy to fabricate) or ALL of it. If I elect to replace the whole thing, the part numbers on the Vans site are somewhat confusing. I think I need the W-411L, but there are choices for "notched" (?) and other further iterations of the W-411 part number.
Can anyone point me to the right number? Need an undrilled, aft, outboard rib for the left wing of a HR-II.
Thanks much!
