We were advised that we have until the end of March 2009 to get on the FAA web site and order a replacement certificate with this language on it. The cost is two dollars ($2.00),?payable by credit card.? I just did it.? In case you are interested, here's how you do it:??? Go to www.faa.gov Click on: Licenses and certificates. Airmen certification. Order a replacement certificate. Enter your info and register if you don't already have an account. Assuming you're establishing your account for the first time, go to your e-mail account and?retrieve your new password.? Click on the link to go back to the FAA site.?? Log in to airmen services using your new password. Put as your reason for ordering a replacement certificate: "English proficiency." Go through the credit card payment screens and pay. Wait for your replacement certificate (it will be the plastic kind) to arrive in the mail, they say in two weeks. ? Hope this is useful to you.? You will need this to fly?in Canada, for example.? Not sure what you do after the end of this month if you don't do this before then and you want to fly to Canada, or Mexico etc.?? ? --LeRoy Johnston?

So far no problem, BUT now how do you then dimple the Skin where the E-718 (INBOARD Trim Tab Horn) goes as the 2 rivets for it are approx 1/8" from the bent Skin Tab ????? One of the 2 rivets is also near the bent trailing edge which makes it impossible to get at. Question 2: Instructions say to "bevel the inboard and aft edges of the Counterbalance Skin (E-713) locally where the Counterbalance Skin overlaps the (Elev) Spar and Rib flanges to provide a smooth transition between the Counterbalance Skin and the Elevator Skin." This does not make sense. I can see "beveling" the Elev Skin "at the point" where the Counterbalance Skin goes UNDER the Elev Skin to make a smooth transition. Am I missing something ??? Appreciate your help, Garey Wittich RV-8A Santa Monica, CA ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 09:22:26 PM PST US From: Kelly McMullen Subject: Re: RV-List: Elevator - Elev Trim Tab Skin (E-619) and Elev Counterbalance Skin (E-713) To your first question. Some of the holes need to be dimpled with a pop-rivet dimple die set. If you bent the tabs so they are flush with the edge of the unbent skin, there is adequate space for the dimple die. Just did mine a few weeks ago. You are lucky you only have one to do...the 10 has two trim tabs, that are interchangeable with the single tab on the 9.

When the rivets are in the elevator skin will get sucked down on to the ramp. The ramp only needs to be above the spar and the rib. You are right that the ramp could be in the elevator skin instead, but the counterbalance skin is where I put the ramp as the instructions say. I looked through my pictures hoping I had one of the bevel, but no luck. You can't really see it after it is put together. It is the same situation on the rudder with it's counterbalance skin. I just did the rivets on the trim tab horn a few weeks ago. Don't remember having any trouble. I used the hand squeezer.
