Rebel Wing skins

[Bob Patterson]

Hi Robert !

I've forwarded your email to the list, and will pass back any
answers received. I'll re-submit your membership registration,
but it will likely be to the 'regular' format, instead of 'digest'
- that's what I get - it's easier to reply to one message that way,
without a lot of "cutting & pasting" ....

Bob,
I have a quick question for you. I am building Rebel 429 and making slow
progress on it. I also have the 7ECA Citbaria on skis that keeps me sane
while building. Unfortunatly, I have had to recover the elevators, stabilizers
and rudder and done the normal maintenance to keep her in good shape. My
wife says if I sold the Citabria I would be done with the Rebel by now!
My question is this: I have been on the Rebel Digest for several years
and enjoyed the comments and advice I read. Mike is sending me the update
in Digest form every day. Its great. Last week I had a question about the
orientation of the bottom side wing skins and I went to look in the archives
for advice. I could not access them. So I sent in a question to the brain
trust. I got a e-mail back saying that I was not a member of DCSOL. I sent
a e-mail to Mike asking to reinstate me if I was off the list, and got no
answer back. He is probably on vacation in Illnois by now. How do I get
back on the list? In the meantime, maybe you could answer my question. The
blow up drawing of the wings shows the lower wing skin to have pre-drilled
rivet holes on all sides of the skin. My lower wing skin has holes on three
sides. I can identify the inboard side because the hole patterns are closer
together than at the tip (thanks Wray), but I dont know which is leading edge
and which is the trailing edge. I am ready to drill the two stringers for
the lower wing skin and want to get it right. Can you help? Also, I noticed
two rib bays on the lower wing skin have 11 holes between the bays, and the
rest have 10. Is that where the wing strut is attached? Thanks for any
help you can pass along.

Just send 'SUBSCRIBE MURPHY-REBEL' to the same address and your in!

Just a quick comment on the problem Bob saw below. I don't know for sure
that this is what happened, but this is something I've seen in the past
several times. With the current system if you are subscribed in Digest
mode, you must send you posts to murphy-rebel-d@dcsol.com, if you send your
posts to the Normal mode address of murphy-rebel@dcsol.com it will be
rejected. These are in fact 2 different lists with 2 different user
databases. All messages posted to both lists will be sent to members of
both lists and placed in the same archive, this allows me to offer both
modes of access. Not exactly how I would like it to work, but that's how I
have to do it.

Thanks, Mike

Hi everybody,

I've nearly finished dry fitting all the parts of my first wing. I have
not riveted anything yet and have been wondering about the assembly
sequence.

The manual has you rivet the leading edge spar to the LE ribs and later
attach the whole assembly to the main spar. It seems to make more sense
to attach all the ribs to the main spar and then hang the front and rear
spars to this assembly. Is there a reason not to do it this way?

With regard to the tank skins, the consensus seems to be that the wing
skins are sandwiched between the ribs and the tank skin. If this is the
case why not install the wing skins first instead of having to slide
them under the tank skins later?

Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

as for wing & tank skins, you assemble task first and only cleco wing skins,
this way you can put proseal the tanks from outside, if wing skins area on
you cant access the back of tanks to add proseal

This sounds strange. My manual had me rivet all ribs to the main spar
first. Then add the front and rear spars.

Yes like Mike said. The more access you have around the tank for adding
proseal, the happier I think you will be.
