--> RV8-List message posted by: "William Slaughter" <willslau@alumni.rice.edu>
I used a whole bunch of side grip clecos and c-clamps along with the
clothes pin type clamps. The skin will feel pretty stiff in this
confined area, but mine came out fine.

Subject: RV8-List: Riveting the HS607 Tip Rib to the HS Skin
--> RV8-List message posted by: Garey Wittich

I am having problems riveting the "Most Forward Rivet" on the HS607 Tip
Rib to the HS Skin. It takes an extreme amount of pressure to force the
HS Skin to lay flush against the HS607 Rib's flange at this location.
It looks like there is approx a 0.032 " air gap between the Rib and Skin
at this location. Do you Buiders use a SHIM to fill this air gap or
just "brute force" the Skin against the Rib (using the clothes pin type
clamps with wood shims) , so both Skin and Rib flange meet??? I clecoed
the opposite side of the Skin down, which helped a little but not
enough. I do not want to use a "pop' rivet (to pull the two surfaces
together), but desire to use a "solid" rivet in this location. The RV
Tapes by the Orndorff's make "everything look easy".
My Kit is 2 years old and none of the Ribs were pilot drilled, so newer
Kits might have a different part number for this Rib. To further
clarify, this is the Tip Rib that is approx in the middle of each Skin
and is hard to get at.
Thanks, Garey Santa Monica, CA

The altimeter in my Eagle is stuck on 3,000 feet and it has already been
repaired several times, so my intent is to replace it with a new one. It
appears that new ones are $500 for US made and $200 for imported. I
don't fly anything close to IFR, so the cheap part of me says to buy the
cheap one, however the Eagle really vibrates a lot, so the other part of
me says to spend the money for a good one. Anyone have good or bad
experience with the imported altimeters??
