I personally found the welding wire to be a little too flexible to allow me

to confidently find the position. In the end I used a much stiffer 3mm

brazing rod and eyeballed it using Neville's technique. To confirm the

"eyeballed" position I found that a DIY stud finder also found the position

of the rib quite accurately and, to be triply sure, a DIY pipe finder also

confirmed the brazing rod tip position. (I needed a bit of re-assurance

before drilling the leading edge possibly in the wrong place!!)

Thanks for that explanation. Here is a technique that I think might

work better (assuming I understand it correctly). My wingtips have

cutouts for the installation of nav lights at the leading egde. That

gives me access to the ribs in front of the spar. The rib we are

looking for is the second one from the tip. The first one (and

presumably all) have small holes for pressure equalization. I can push

a long wooden dowel through the first rib until it hits the second rib,

and get an exact measure of its distance from the tip. Then I transfer

that distance (minus 0.5" for the flange) along the leading edge and

drill the hole. Does that sound right?



I could not find Neville's posting in the archives on using a light

bulb to locate the distance. If anyone can send me a reference, I would

appreciate it. Thanks.
