The exploded iso view calls out the flat head location as "inboard" or "outboard". Are the "inboard" and "outboard" terms relative to the wing, or the aileron? I'm not sure why these few rivets are specified flush rivets, so its hard to determine which side of the assembly needs to be a smooth surface.

Had no problems. I put an extra layup over the patched area on the inside, and shimmed the other half to match the added thickness. Kevin Shannon RV-9A sold RV-8 N184KS almost ready vhimsl@turbonet.com> Hello, I have botched the cutting of my cowl, as in major. The main area affected is where the top and lower halves meet. Half the distance from the firewall to the front has a gap 1/2" or so on both sides. Fortunately, I didn't screw up further by cutting off the front section whee the plate nuts and screws go. I intend to rebuild the edges affected (West System Epoxy, Rutan's S cloth) but do not know if I can get away with this as I will have to mount the hinges to this rebuilt area. Would appreciate feedback from any who have faced this, especially those who have communicated with Van's. Thanks!

HOWEVER ... I do still have a new lower cowl with scoop if anyone needs it ... make somebody a really sweet deal ... ;-) -- Don McNamara N8RV ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Shannon" Subject: RE: RV8-List: Rv8 Botched cowl cut > --> RV8-List message posted by: "Kevin Shannon" > > > Vince, > I did the same thing when I built my 9A, and rebuilt the edge with West > systems.

There is another one on the bottom outboard most rivet hole also. This is all to allow clearance for the aileron when deflecting in its range of motion. You will understand all of it when you pin up the aileron for the first time and see the clearance issues I am talking about. If you were to install 470's or install the rivet from the inboard side you may have clearance issues with the aileron counterweight. Hope this help a little. If this doesn't wait till I get home and look at my wings. Deal! Bruce G.
