Does it look like this?

If it does, just go ahead and put a rivet in it. There are so many rivets in
this area holding the whole thing together, it's not going to matter. When I
did this I agonized over it for a long time. My tech counsellor came over
and looked at it and said it was fine.

Andy, there will surely be bigger fish to fry as you move on in your
project. Look at the number of rivets around this
area........................one isn't going to cause your airplane to crack,
fly crooked, fail inspection or cause anyone headache except you:-)
Seriously, as Dan said, Van's will probably say, "forget it, put a rivet in
it and keep on pounding" Don't lose any sleep, rivet, forget and move on.

Andy,
That seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do. Put a rivet in the bad
hole too. Put the factory head in the side with the edge problem. Don't
overdo it when setting that one. Quit poutin' and git back to work!

Thanks folks for relieving me of that stress. Dan, I wanted to send a picture
to the list but didn't know how. I don't have a website yet. But mine looks
alot like Bill's. I will do as you all suggest. When your wheels first leave
the ground does your mind flash back to all the little things that weren't quite
right?? Thansk again

Trust me, rivets in the HS were the LAST thing on my mind. All I cared
about was that the fan kept spinning. Engine, electrical, instrumentation,
and most importantly FEEL (rigging, control responsiveness, etc.) were the
things I was thinking about on the first several flights.
The only time I even bothered to think about rivets was when I was doing G
envelope expansion. Creak...squeak...groan...just kidding. Unlike other
non-RV planes I've flown, this thing doesn't make a friggin' sound when you
load it. Only the pilot groans over 4G. ;-)

Bob,
Don't forget your ailerons may/may not require stops for aileron travel.
The ailerons don't travel as much as the hinges may allow if the stops are not
in place.
You shouldn't have any interference problems once your travel is measured.
Hope this helps,

--> RV7-List message posted by: B Tomm <fvalarm@rapidnet.net>
When I opened my finish kit I realized that I had forgotten to make a
decision on the tint. Van's did it for me and sent it tinted grey. I was
(still am) contemplating ordeing the canopy with no tint. I fly with a
friend in a Q2 with no tint in his bubble and I really like the to see all
the colors in full especially the varying shades of grey in the clouds. I
think the greyness of the clouds helps to judge the weather associated with
them. Should I re-order or keep what I got? I'd like to hear from those
who are flying with and without grey tint.

Bevan,
I consulted Jon Johanson on the subject of tint before placing my order,
particularly because I want to fly at night. He came back very clearly in
favour of the tint. Thats a lot of experience talking there.
These little planes fly high and fly far. Up at 10,000 there is not much
pollution to filter the sun, and if you fly out of the cloudy/smoggy areas
into one of the sunnier regions you will suffer under an unfiltered sun. You
get to appreciate it in sunny snowy conditions too.
According to Jon, the tint is no significant impediment to night flight and
helps filter the frizzling summer sun.
Regards, David Francis, just beginning to frizzle under the first hot spell
of the Australian summer.
