Wing Skin

[BAnton]

I'm ready to trim the wing skins and can't find where to trim the back of the wing skins. I can't seem to find a reference to it in either the plans or the building manual. Do you trim to the back of the rear spar flange on the bottom of the wing and on the top of the wings where the flaps are? And to the back of the pocket ribs on the top of the wing where the ailerons are?

Drawing 9 shows a full scale cross section in the lower left hand corner which details how far the skins should extend in the flap area. Drawing 10 has a similar scaled view of the skin termination and pocket ribs in the aileron area. The skins do extend past the pocket ribs in the aileron area to create a flange to rivet the .020 skin to the pocket rib curve.

Hey, no problem man! I can't tell you how many times I've looked at these drawings and couldn't find the information that was right in front of me. There's just a lot of information packed into each page.
