If the resulting hole seemed slightly larger, I try using a half-size longer rivet to allow for more expansion and still get a decent size shophead. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv7-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv7-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Scott Farner Subject: Re: RV7-List: Dimple Problem --> RV7-List message posted by: Scott Farner Norm, Check out this link: http://www.rvproject.com/20020824.html -- Scott www.scottfarner.com Waiting for Fuse On 6/13/05, Norm Tatz wrote: > --> RV7-List message posted by: Norm Tatz > > I had a misfire while dimpling my vertical stabilizer skin and now > have an offset, elongated and mis-formed dimple.

That's 40% of the premium for the quickbuild option on the wings. I've already ordered the slowbuild wings. I'm glad if that's the price. Now all temptation to avoid pro-seal is averted for me. ;> Don -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv7-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv7-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of ENAJRICK@aol.com Subject: RV7-List: Re: RV7-List Digest: 2 Msgs - 06/08/05 --> RV7-List message posted by: ENAJRICK@aol.com I'm considering sending my fuel tanks out to be done. Since i'm building the slow wings any help with speeding the process can't hurt and with all I've read about pro-seal, well let's just say I wasn't looking forward to it. Does anyone know where I can get this done? I read on Van's site that they do -9 wings for about $1,600./pair but did not see anything about the -7. I checked out Evan's site and it looks promising. Are there any other options? Does anyone have experience with Evan's. Thanks for any help.

I believe they have even been removed from the latest order sheet. Evans built Van's tanks for a long time... I would use Evans.

Then just ue filler in that hole. And, trust me, you're not the first one to make this mistake.

I smacked the booboo flat and re-dimpled. After everything was done, you can hardly tell. ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 11:52:16 PM PST US From: "Don Hall" Subject: RV7-List: elevator counterbalance --> RV7-List message posted by: "Don Hall" The plans call for a section of the counterbalance to be cut out. It was fun enough just drilling holes in lead. My bandsaw wasn't enjoying the job too much, but I suppose it'll work if I keep at it. But I wonder if there is an easier way... Any tips on the best tools for cutting out a section of lead and then shaping a radius into a corner?
