Hello all,
I sent this to Van's as well as to the list. Their reply was that the 4-7
rivets had been installed in error by the quick build folks. I am to drill
them out, leaving only the keeper rivets and proceed to back drill the holes
in the F820 top skin.
Keep building.

Good Morning,
This question is about the RV-8 quick build fuselage. When drilling the
F821PP top skin to the forward left side (just aft of the firewall) into the
longeron and WD-802-L weldment, should the AN426AD4-7 rivets already in the
F820-PP-L skin be drilled out? Should the two AN426AD3-6 keeper rivets be
drilled out? How should the F821PP top skin be attached to the underlying
WD802-L weldment in this area? Should I drill two or three #40 holes for
rivets between the AN426AD4-7 rivets already in place.
Can't find the answer on the plans.
