Spar Butt Fittings

[John Burnett]

I am having difficulty making the butt fittings work as drawn.

The problem is the location of the holes that the Drag Wire

Lug will attach to.



I am thinking that I want one of the lugs above the centerline of

the spar and the other below the centerline of the spar (the same

distance that I have with my drag blocks.



When I lay it out both holes are below the centerline of the spar. The

rear spar by a distance of .098 and the front spar by a distance of

.183 inches, I'm using a CAD system.



If I use this layout I am sure to get interference on the 1/4 in wires

because I will be bolting into spar holes and drag blocks that are

located .160 inches above and .160 inches below the centerline of the spar.



I have a pdf file that I will try to attach to this message. I also have

a dwg or dxf file that I could email someone with a CAD system to

see if I am missing something.



I haven't found anything in the print errata and I am having a hard

time believing that I am the first to catch this.



Thanks,

John Burnett
