New with hardware kit included. 17 pounds lighter than Vans steel gear legs. Gun drilled brake lines. Paid $1595, sell for $1400 http://www.groveaircraft.com/rv8.html email f.dombroski at yahoo.com for pictures and questions. -------- Frank Dombroski RV-10 N46WD Flying RV-8 N84FD final assembly N40 Sky Manor Airport Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=291134#291134 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/sdc11836_470.jpg ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:08:12 AM PST US Subject: RV8-List: Re: Is this Okay? From: "N38CW" Chet, without seeing a pic of your work, you are the only one that can make a determination on whether the smileys are OK or not. But as was mentioned, tape helps reduce the chances of creating them. Another option I have learned about is using Snap-Socs. They work great, are color coded for different size rivets, and can be found at various places. I got mine at Brown Tool. http://www.browntool.com/Default.aspx?tabid=255&txtSearch=snap+socs&List=1&SortField=ProductName%2cProductNumber&ProductID=103 cs(at)charlesstringham.co wrote: > I just finished the horizontal stabilizer a few minutes ago--at least, I hope I did. One of the last processes is to buck the AN470 rivets on the front spar--the ones that hold the center-most ribs (fore and aft) to the front spar itself and the two extruded aluminum angle fittings. The rivets look good. I located the manufactured heads directly over the extruded aluminum angle fittings. When I finished, I noticed the rivet set had not been absolutely straight, which resulted in smiles that encircle about 120 degrees of the extruded aluminum angle fittings around the rivets. The depth is perhaps 10/1,000 of an inch. I know how important the structural integrity of the extruded fittings are. The smiles have very smooth edges. Is this okay?

From: cs@charlesstringham.com Thanks guys for your responses. I just wanted to make sure I explained that the smiles are in the aluminum of the angle brackets that hold the horiz stab to the fuse, and not on the rivet heads. Do I need to hollow grind these? Will this reduce the strength of these critical parts?
