Brief Description:  Notching front inner HS ribs.

Well, I made the first cut I'm not really happy with. Per the plans, the inner front ribs on the HS are to be notched to fit between HS-710 and 714 and flush against the HS-702 spars. I started on the left rib, and cut it according to the drawing. When I fitted it against the HS-702 spar, it was clear that the two attaching rivets could not be located per plans and still maintain the proper edge distances. It looks like the reference for the cut dimensions given were wrong on the drawing. I researched the Matronics list and found that several others had similar problems in this area. Calls to Vans were answered with "get it as close as you can" type answers. Some have cut flanges off and replaced with a riveted flange on the rib. I'll see how it goes together before I decide how to proceed. Right rib fit up fine when I made the cut using the outside of the rib as the reference point for the cut line...
