    Does this mean that aeroplanes with pop rivets (eg Zenith, Zodiac, upcoming RV12) will eventually fall apart? (Do not archive) _____ From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Nikolaos Napoli Sent: Saturday, 22 April 2006 9:42 PM Subject: Re: RV10-List: Your bucking bar input please. Hi Deems, I finished that section about 2 months ago and have allready forgotten exactly what I did. I did use the empennage bucking bar in a lot of places and a steel plate about 1/4 " thick by about 2 inches wide and about 8 inches long which a shoved into tight areas. I believe I might have squeezed some of the rivets in the area you are talking about. I would caution against using blind rivets in this area as some of the engine loads are coming through that joint. If you absolutely must use blind rivets make sure you use something like the CherryMax ones that have a locking feature that keeps the stem in place. The problem with most of the pop rivets is that if subjected to vibration the steel stem falls off and you are left with a hollow aluminum cylinder as your fastener that has a much reduced strength.

    Subject: Fiber Glass thickness at Door Bottoms.
    From: "Bobby J. Hughes" <bhughes@qnsi.net>
    After sanding the doors into place I have almost no material left on the bottom of the doors where they were glued together. I have some separations that will require a couple of layers of glass to re-bond. I am well inside the bottom scribe lines. Did anyone else need to sand this far to make the doors fit. I have been looking at it for a week now and I do not see where I could have done anything different except maybe take more off the cabin top at the base of the doors. Bobby 40116

    Bobby, I too had to cut well inside the scribe lines so you may not have a problem there as long as the door fits well. I commented to my self several times that the scribe lines weren't all that accurate. As for the separations you might want to try and just inject some resin in the gaps rather than add glass which will be tough to get as smooth as the door itself due to the extra thickness.

    Marcus, Visited by another RV10 builder this afternoon. He quickly pointed out my problem. The start of the problem was that I did not lower the cabin top enough on the fuse. I left it up about 1/8" higher than it needed to be. So guess where my missing 1/8" went. Not a big deal but I will need to add it back to the bottom of the door and sand down and re-bevel the bottom door frame. This will also give me the bottom edge needed to place the door seal on the bottom of the door.

    Subject: Fiber Glass thickness at Door Bottoms.
    Bob, I took an epoxy syringe from west marine and drilled small holes above the joint and pumped in thickened epoxy, then just filled the holes (#30). It Ended up making a fillet inside the door frame. I also pumped in expanding urethane foam into the larger cavities to insulate and glue. Just be careful not to guppy the thing....the expanding foam can easily deform the door. It didn't add much weight but it really seems to give the door a more solid feel...
