Subject: | F712 lower rivets on a QB -7 |
I am trying to rivet the aft bulkhead, F712. How do you buck the
lower-foward 4 rivets on an -7 QB, when you have to work around the tail
spring mount (WD409)? There is no mention in the plans about using blind
rivets. If you were to go with blind rivets, which type? Is there some
magic way to make the spring mount disapear temporarily?

IIRC, my tech advisor suggested I use CherryMax rivets there. Don't remeber
the #.

morning, I am based at fayetteville ar, have flown into that airort
once, looks very well cared for. If you land on the westerly, you will
be flying very low over the main hyway and aproach is at end of very
high embankment. When I came in I had a pretty stiff X-wind but runway
very good. little spooky to be low over cars and looking at that
embankment. Charlie H

Been there several times in RV-6A. One of my favorite airports.
Never any problems with security or safety. They did have a tie down
fee, and high price gas. It is much closer to downtown than the new
airport. I have not been there for a year or so since my favorite
sister moved!
When I arrived from the west (Denver) I always came over the town and
lakes, very scenic.
Almost always a cross wind.

Subject: RV-List: Branson - PLK
Hi listers,
My wife and I will be arriving for a vacation to Branson this next
Saturday May 2nd and will stay a week. It was our intent to land at the
new BBG but apparently that is not going to be an option. I am told our
next best location is PLK - Taney County Airport. I am not sure how far
this is from downtown Branson but also wondering about safety, security,
and such at this airport. Does anybody have any info regarding this
location? My RV-6 has a canopy cover and tie downs so I think it would
be OK outside for a week stay. Are there any RV builders at this
airport currently?
Thanks for any info.

Tim,
My family lives in Branson and PLK is A-OK to fly into. Security should
be fine as there isn't any access to this hilltop airport except through
the front gate unless you're an army Ranger. There is an interesting
collection of 20 -30 airplanes in the large hangar somewhat nearest the
center of the airport. If the door is open, take a peak to see if you
can get an invite inside.
Make sure you don't run outta gas. It'd be a helluva bad place to find
an alternate as it is all trees and hills! Also, don't land short.
You'll see why.

Thanks everyone for the comments about Branson. It is always nice to get
some insight on where you are going from those that have been there before.
It should be a good trip and I anticipate we will have fun. I emailed with
the airport and they told me $10 per night for tie downs so I guess that is
what it will be. I may consider fuel before arriving or after leaving so I
can shop for a better bargain.
Thanks again

Charlie asked:
Thanks Pete; that's what I was thinking of doing. No problems with
working on the sides or bottom of the engine?
Charlie
Pete responds:
Charlie, no problems with working on the sides or bottom of the engine or
even getting under the fuselage. The bottom of the engine was two feet off
the deck and the top a comfortable 3.5 feet off the deck. What I found
important was to get the area behind the fire wall and in front of the panel
down to a comfortable, chest level, working height. You will be doing a
lot of wiring work in there and you don't want it too high or you will be
constantly looking for a step or block to stand on. Also you'll want the
engine cowling at chest level to facilitate cutting and fitting it.
Now, I just went to the garage and found the temporary gear legs I had
used. They are 27 inches long and made out of reinforcing rod. Mine were
slightly too small in diameter so I pushed pieces of PVC pipe over the tops
and wrapped electrical tape to give a slightly snug fit into the motor mount
(remember I built a tail dragger). Adding four inches for the beam across
the bottom ends and another four for the casters and the height was
perfect. I am 5' 10". I left it that way until the airplane was ready for the
trip to the airport (I built it in my living room). Then I just lifted it by
the motor lift and installed the gear legs and wheels.

The airport doesn't officially open until Monday following the airshow.
They had previously said they would do everything they could to have it
available for GA landings. On the website this week it says "Fly-In traffic
will not be permitted to the Branson Airport (BBG), but two nearby airfields
will be available. Space is limited so please contact the following airports
for details". And lists PLK as one of them and HRO at Boone County as the
other. It seems a bit off to me but not knowing the logistics, how could I
say.
