Wing main spar page (WIX-W14 for Waiex)

[Bryan Cotton]

Hey all,
I am trying to locate the root rib angles. The big view of the left spar gives a 19 1/64" dimension from the center tooling hole. Detail E shows 19". On the right spar it shows 19 39/64" on the big view, and 19 -9/32" on detail A.
I just noticed the metric measurement is consistent.

Ok-creative rounding to torture us engineers. I'm good.

That's why I built mine with a metric ruler!

[Bryan Cotton]

They have metric rulers in Texas? Man what is this world coming to.

I noticed an error. Left and right spar both indicate WIX-W19-09 root rib angle go forward. On the left spar -08 must go forward so the root rib stays parallel to the fuse. Do the Sonex plans have this too? What page number is it?

Bryan, this might be the same error I alerted Sonex to awhile back. I believe there is an update to the plan page on their website.
