| Subject: | Butt joint for main wing skins. |
--> RV6-List message posted by: StooDDS@aol.com
I have used one-piece upper main wing skins but want to butt joint the two
lower skins over a new wider rib flange, as outlined in Frank Justice's
instructions. The standard lap joint for the prepunched skins is secured with
a
double row of rivets spaced 1 1/4". To get an equivalent number of rivets in each
skin/flange joint, I plan to use a single row of rivets to join each skin to
the new flange, but space them 5/8" instead of 1 1/4". I think this will look
neater than four rows at the wider spacing, but will it be OK strengthwise?
