The way you have it I have to copy, past and then edit it before I can view the site.

There are four skin panels per wing so either total time or just time per panel. Any information would be appreciated.

I would do the holes around the edges with my hand squeezer first cause this is a little faster and a different action for the arms and wrists.

So ~2hrs begin to finish for all four skins. Of course, if you can swing a hammer for 2 hrs non-stop, I'm impressed. ;) Regards, /\/elson Austin, TX RV-7A On Mon, 20 Sep 2004, Merems wrote: > --> RV7-List message posted by: "Merems" > > Fellow RV builders, > > I wanted to know how long it has takes to dimple the RV-7 main wing skins (one wing) using the impact c-frame dimpler.

But not as long as it takes to debur both sides of every hole before you dimple. More accurately, it takes about an hour to do each skin, and twice that to debur beforehand. Hint - the quality of the dimpling generally determines the qaulity of the final rivet finish. On the thick inner wing skins I found the dimpling was mediocre. So I used my slightly deeper tank dimple dies on the thick inner skins and got a really superb flush rivet finish. Have fun, David Francis, Canberra, Australia, waiting for the engine. -----Original Message----- From: Merems [mailto:merems@cox.net] Subject: RV7-List: How long does it take to dimple the main wing skins --> RV7-List message posted by: "Merems" Fellow RV builders, I wanted to know how long it has takes to dimple the RV-7 main wing skins (one wing) using the impact c-frame dimpler.
