Good morning all



My aircraft build is progressing really well but I have just come to rivet 

the L sections that attach to the centre spar and nose ribs and the rivets 

my drawings call up ( A5 ) are too short.



I was under the impression that the ones that I am using are the longest 

available.  Can anyone throw some light on this one.



Regards Phil Plumley

Are you sure? I see the L angle material as .025" and spar material as .050" 

for a total of .075" and the A5 grip length as .312" so they should be 

plenty long. One of us apparently is confused or missing something. OOPS, 

I'm assuming 601XL, but perhaps you are doing a different model.

Hi



I neglected to mention that I am building a 601HD



I have L section .025"   spar cap and spar cap doubler .125 each and spar 

web .040 as per drawing 6V4    all of which amounts to more than an A5 can 

handle.

If you look at the detail at bottom center of drawing 6V3, it shows the 

spar being riveted together with solid rivets. I'm not sure, but might 

this also apply to these nose rib L sections?

I built these about 10 years ago. Going on memory alone, I don't  

think those are A5's, aren't they solid rivets in there?

Seems weird to me. On the XL the L angles that attach the nose ribs are 

riveted only to the spar web and butt inside the doubler so the grip length 

of A5's is plenty long. Does the HD have them attached to the doubler and 

cap instead of to the web? By the way, my XL plans show .040 web, but the 

the prebuilt spars received with the ZAC wing kit have .050 web.
