Hi dears builders,  

I was doing my flange lightening holes in my wing spar extension and I reversed male/female side of one hole. The male side was supposed to be on front side view of the plane, I done one (of 2) male back side of the plane.  

My question is that a big problem ? Could it be affect resistance ? Could be acceptable or not for some part of the plane like, spar, rib, fuselage and so on ?   This is acceptable for AC 43.13 standard ? Please specify your background and experience on that domain if you respond to that question. I never read anything on that matter.   

Thanks a lot for information.

Hello Christian,



One of the wing ribs (#7) in the 601XL has 2 lightening holes flanged in one direction and 2 holes flanged in the opposite direction. I'm assuming the part you are talking about is like the spar tip in the XL. The purpose of the flange is to add strength and rigidity to the part. I can't see where your mistake would affect the integrity of your wing in any way.

I made the same mistake on the spar web but because I worked so close I just stacked the spar caps and angles to the opposite side.  If it is just the wing tip then like Dave says it probably won't make any difference.



Here is the link to my mistake:
