Without enforcement, there will be much cheating on existing experimentals and future 51% experimental builds. I think they saw this coming, as they originally said no ground-adjustable propeller. The final rule backed off on that for unrelated reasons I suspect, so time will soon tell how they will verify top speed. Merely having your prop bolts sealed by a member of the clergy won't be enough. :-) Reg, Fred F.

    Subject: Re: Squeezing solid rivets
    --> Europa-List message posted by: Andrew Sarangan <asarangan@yahoo.com> Sam Can you tell me how the rivet setter from McMaster Carr works? The tool is inexpensive ($18), but the description on their website are unclear. I called the company and they didn't couldn't help me. This is what the website says about the tool: Set solid and tinners' rivets with this tool and your hammer. With the rivet in the setter hole, strike setter to draw sheet metal around the rivet. Then strike rivet directly to flatten shank. Place the setter's concave recess over the shank and strike setter again. This forms the domed head. You can draw rivets directly through thin metal without prepunching a hole. Thin metal slugs drop out of the outlet hole on the side of the tool. --- SPurpura@aol.com wrote: > --> Europa-List message posted by: SPurpura@aol.com > > TRY USING A RIVET SET, AVAIL.

    Subject: Re: Squeezing solid rivets
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "MICHAEL PARKIN" <mikenjulie.parkin@btopenworld.com> Andrew, The traditional way of setting rivets used these type of tools and it is the way that I set the rivets on my aircraft. The idea is that the setter hole takes the rivet shank and tapping the plates to be riveted with a suitable backing tool on the head of the rivet ensures that the plates are snug against the head of the rivet. Maintaining a suitable tool on the head of the rivet - bucking bar or flat punch for a flat head (countersunk) rivet or a domed tool for a pan head rivet. The rivet is first 'thickened' by striking with a hammer or hammer and punch if access is tight. Finally, if a round/dome head finish is required use the concave recess on the rivet setter (with hammer) to form the rivet head. With the McMaster Carr tool. The easy way is to put the tool vertically in a vice, position the rivets in the bearing/bellcrank assembly, then hold the rivet head in the concave recess and form with a hammer on the upper side. Ensure that the rivets are a good fit in concave recess in the tool and the overall rivet shank length is fairly critical for a good finish. Two pairs of hands are useful. Hope you understand my poor explanation. regards, Mike Parkin (G-JULZ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Sarangan" <asarangan@YAHOO.COM> Subject: Re: Europa-List: Squeezing solid rivets > --> Europa-List message posted by: Andrew Sarangan <asarangan@yahoo.com> > > Sam > > Can you tell me how the rivet setter from McMaster Carr works?

One thought is, if there is enough thread available, lock the nut with an extra half nut. < Remember that the correct way to use the half nut as a locknut is to put the half nut on first - then the full nut - tighten them both up to required torque and then, holding the full nut from turning, back off the half nut to lock it against the full nut. I've even seen professional engineers put them on the wrong way round !! The same method is used even if you are using two full nuts. Ted
