Hi Deems...



http://www.deemsrv10.com/15-3s1-4.html 



I noticed on your construction log where you had a problem with the

W-1007E flange being longer than the rear spar flange by 1-10". Van's

actually had to ship a new rear spar for you.



I have the same issue, extends beyond by 1-16" on BOTH left and right

wing doublers. The pictures below show a similar issue as yours. You can

see the doubler is flush against the spar in one of the pics. You can

click on each of the slide photos to get the full-sized 1024x768

picture.

I am wondering if anyone else had this similar issue. It did not seem

like much of an issue to me, until I happened across your web page.

Van's agreeing that it warranted shipment of a new rear spar, obviously,

makes me nervous.



Did anyone else see this issue?



Thanks,

Jae

Jae,The real problem is not just that the doubler extends beyong the 

spar cap, but when they make these parts ALL of the holes are 

punched/drilled prior to bending, and when the bends get made wrong, 

(which is what is causing the problem)  it will shift all of the holes, 

some might be tempted to match drill lthe holes into the doubler and 

continue, but all of these holes will be misalligned with the skins, 

when it come time to put them on, check to make sure this isn't the case 

with the parts you get, (I'm a bit surprised to see this problem showing 

up in later wing kits).

I just want to close this thread. I got a response back from Van's. They

said it is not an issue. I could file the bit that over-extends the

flange, if I want to.



I will just continue on and hope for the best, as always.

Jae, FWIW check that the distance of the holes in the spar cap from the 

edge is the same all of the way along the spar. In the spar I received 

they were not,  which meant that the holes were not going to align with 

the wing skins. Also I had a small gap at the bend between the spar and 

the doubler, when I received the new spar there was no gap and the 

pieces fit snuggly.
