When I put the root (and tip) rib in position, the nut at the aileron assembly hits the rib vertical (where aileron web will go). The bolt has to pass through the forward half of the vertical and the nut ends up against it. Anyone else have this issue? Just add a doubler? Thanks! John C
True, the bolt passes through the front side of this vertical. But this vertical RS-1 at root rib has 1/4 in ply doubler (or rather insert) on either side (in front of it and behind it, when viewed from top). The vertical and 1/4 ply inserts are flush with the external 1/8 ply that is glued to the whole rib on the fuselage side. So drilling a 1/4 inch hole through this vertical RS-1 should not be a structural problem. Moreover there is another RS-9 piece glued inside of the RS-1. My recall on this is slightly foggy, but I don't remember gluing a doubler to this RS-1 vertical. In fact there may not be space for a doubler. There is only a 1/8 inch gap in front of this RS-1 vertical where the aileron spar web has a partial cut out. Attaching a photo of my build's root rib attachment point for aileron hinge bolt. The RS-1 is hidden behind the RS-9.
