Brief Description: Installing the Flap Brace and Aileron Gap Fairings
Drill, deburr, dimple where required, and rivet the W-721 flap brace (DWG 14A) to the rear spar. QUICKBUILDER’S NOTE: The W-721 must be attached to the rear spar with blind rivets. See the note on DWG 14A, Section B-B’.
When preparing the W-721, you need to remove the hatched area as per the W-721 trim detail on DWG 14A. In doing to one of the holes does not meet edge distance. I check wiht Vans and they said this would be OK.
Q: "I am finishing the QB wings and working on the part W-721 trim detail as shown on plan DWG 14A. I attach the photo of the part where I removed the cut away section. You can see the edge distance to the closest hole. Is this OK?"
A: "I would not worry about the low edge distance – the part is not heavily loaded, and it is unlikely to cause problems."
