I don't know if any of the heads of the rivets holding the ribs on the spars have popped off now or not. There is no way to check that either. Do the math and you will find there are a lot more rivets used that engineering specs would call for. >I also know from practical experience on a lot of >Kolb wings, mine, that I have covered and >recovered, it is extremely difficult to get slit >fits to look anywhere neat enough (for me anyhow) >or for most aircraft judges. The slit fit I am >talking about is the one around the lift strut >tang. Might be even harder to do correctly on all >those hinges. For that tang I usually cut a circle about 5" dia and slit the center. Not actually a slit , more of a long narrow hole that the tang will fit through. Lots of glue and it seems to stay put. After the hinge slits are cut and shrunk I usually take a match and burn off any loose threads. caution is needed at this stage.
