This HS is going to be the death of me.
I'm trying to figure out how to attach forward rib HS0006 to the forward spar for an RV7A. I notched the ribs per the plans and marked a centerline on the aft flange. But the directions tell me to look at drawing D-D and figure out where to mark the holes to attach to the spar. This makes no sense to me because how do you know where the rib should be positioned to properly lay out the holes? I've been researching it and it seems that others have clecoed on the skin, put the rib in place and then marked the holes.
Am I missing something? Any advice is very much appreciated!!!
