Subject: Re: Kolb-List: tube caulk

You are right.  Drilling the holes first would eliminate the chips,  but 
some of the rivet ball ends would still be dropping out.  Also, after  the 
fabric is on, the fittings that support the folded wings need to be  attached,

and those rivet ball ends also have a chance to drop out and roll  around 
inside the wing. I read once that Pazmany used epoxy on the ends of the  
rivets and that may hold the ball ends in place, but he did say it was a sticky

mess to deal with.

I believe  the reason for caulking the rib tube ends is to prevent rivet 
hole  drillings& chips and rivet ball ends from vibrating down to the leading 

edge of the wing where they get stuck between the fabric and leading edge  
tube.They will eventually cut through the fabric. Drilling the holes before  
covering with the fabric will make this unnecessary Jerry
