Front Spar

To all those who are building the wing,



The front spar for the left and right wing is the same part number (W119), but is not a symetrical part ie.you can not turn it over and use it with the root end for the front spar fitting attach holes at the root end of both wings. There is a top and a bottom to the spar ( the bends on the top and the bottom are different) . There is no warning in the plans about this .

Front Spar

On mine, one of the two leading edge spars had it's prepunched holes offset
an inch or so to one end -- all spacing perfect, but offset overall. It would
have worked fine on one wing, but as "Murphy's Law" would have it, I tried to
use it on the other wing and found myself in trouble. Fortunately for me, the
guy I bought my project from had already bought an extra front spar because
he had let one of the originals flop over and bend in the middle. I ended up
using it, adding a healthy doubler to the bend area.

Hope you didn't find too late on the up/down of these parts --- I'm sure
others must have been bit here.
