=== Before You Start === | |||
==== Special/New Tools/Supplies ==== | |||
* You need a 3/8" reamer for this section. | |||
== Hints == | |||
* See this [https://www.facebook.com/groups/vansrv10/posts/8029357263851969 FB Post] on ribs being shipped where embossing was done very shallow or not done at all. Also, newer ribs have an additional relief cut that causes edge distance issues with a nutplate. | |||
* There is a nutplate you will need to install in Section 20, specifically see 20-5 steps 6 and 9. It is one specific K1100-08 that will be on the bottom aft of the W-1010-R (and W-1010-L). In section 20, you use the bottom skin to match-drill the #8 hole and the #40 nutplate attach holes. But then you have to dimple that #8 hole and the flap hinge bracket's rivets are going to be in your way. Consider using the bottom skin to match-drill this one nutplate now, deburr, and dimple, before you assemble the W-1010-R. See [https://vansairforce.net/threads/what-tool-do-you-use-to-dimple-extra-tight-tolerance-on-inboard-aft-most-8-nut-plate-on-wing-rib.238207/ this VAF thread] for more info. | |||

* Step 6: | |||
** Note that you do use the "R" W-1010 for the left wing, but all of the parts you attach to it are "-R" parts. Throughout this whole section, L and R don't refer to the left or right wing, just the handedness of the part. | |||
** Van's may have started shipping a modified W-1010-R in 2025 and labeled W-1010-R-1 (and also W-1010-L-1). On this part the flanges have more segments than shown. | |||
** Possibly due to the revised part, the W-1029A-L may not Cleko in place without grinding it down a little bit. | |||
* Step 10: The W-1025B-L and W-1025B-R brackets come attached and need to be cut apart. There are three sets in total. | |||

* Step 1: it's easy to make these cuts using a bandsaw | |||
* Step 2: perhaps the easiest way to make these cuts is with an oscillating tool | |||

* Step 2: The second instruction says to insert the snap bushing from the inside but Figure 2 shows it inserted from the outside and that seems to be more correct as the W-1029C angle that got notched would be in the way of the snap bushing when inserted from the inside. | * Step 2: The second instruction says to insert the snap bushing from the inside but Figure 2 shows it inserted from the outside and that seems to be more correct as the W-1029C angle that got notched would be in the way of the snap bushing when inserted from the inside. | ||

* Several builders report callouts on page 14-05 with the wrong number of rivets to attach the ribs to the spar: Innermost rib needs 6 instead of 5 rivets, the 2 ribs inside the outmost rib need 8 instead of 4 rivets.
