Continued on the left wing. Countersinking holes and riveting aileron brackets. Finally received the angle stock from ACS, and made new angles for the aft main spar according to this from Sonex aircraft. The description from Sonex of what is wrong and how the parts are to go together to make it right is nonexistent, and the drawings give no dimensions whatsoever. Sonex isn't even willing to send me new correct parts. Really disappointing.
The error is the pilot holes in the angle is too far down so the aft spar will be mounted too high. The result in the skin will not fit. With the new angle made, it is easy to get the rear spar to fit using some aluminium strips. The problem is getting the dimension along the aft spar correct. I used the bolt holes for the original angles, since there are no dimensions in the drawings.
