    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? Dave

    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.

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 Bryan RV-6 Flying N616TBover 120 hours now 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.

    Subject: Branson - PLK
    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.

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.

    Subject: Branson - PLK
    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.
