I ordered my drag, anti drag wires for the lower wings about a year ago and the ones for the upper wing about 6 months ago. I opened the first package today and started to install the ones for the lower wings. All eight bottom wires are oversized as per plans. The inner bay wires are 1.25 inches longer than the plans call for and the outer bay is .5 inch longer. After double checking the dimensions of the ribs, blocks and butt rib lugs, I called Raven and was told that it is common procedure to cut these wires.
I'm skeptical. Has anyone else run into this? If so, what method is used to cut them?
