I had moved on to Step #7 because the manual indicated that step #4 - 6 were completed at the factory. After realizing in Step #10, my spars are missing the doubler plates that were supposed to be mounted at the factory. I had all the parts but they were not installed. This cost me a number of hours trying to figure out what the problem was. The Root Rib that you make in Step #10 was too short. Luckily, I did not drill or cut much of anything for Step 10 as it just did not make sense. I re-measured my jig brackets, checked the parts again and again but could not figure out what was missing until I looked at some pictures of other builders and realized the doubler plates were missing.
I sent an email to Glasair and Jake Bruns helped immediately. This was on a Thursday (11/21) and they are closed on Friday so I needed to wait until Monday for a resolution. Jake said they were making a new set of spars and shipping them out to me ASAP. They didn't even hesitate on making the problem right! Jake tried to get them shipped on Wed (11/27) prior to the T-Day shut-down but the truck could not make it out until Monday (12/2). I really appreciate his effort on getting this done! Since I realized I could not continue on the spars I moved on to the subassemblies for both wings.
