Brief Description:  Wing Mounting 4: Issue Fairing screw placement

The plans say to mark the bottom skin so that I'll be able to locate the holes to be used for screwing to the bottom skin and wing to body fairing.

Issue is drawing no. 12 of the wing group says every other hole should be used and drawing no. 38 of the fuselage group says skip two holes in between these screw holes. So which is right?

I'll send these photos to Van's and see what they say.

I talked to Ken at Vans. He said the bottom needs to be a spacing of 2.5 inches or less because it is a structural interface. So drawing 12 is correct. Skip only one hole, not two, in between platenuts and screws for the wing to body skin interface.
