    Subject: Top Fwd Skin
    Just wondering. Why not use the 3/32 pop rivets that Vans has? Then you don t have to drill a 1/8 hole?? From: dralle@matronics.com Subject: Re: RV8-List: Top Fwd Skin At 05:02 PM 4/6/2010 Tuesday=2C you wrote: RV-8 List Members=2C I've finally come to the place in building where I have to attach the top f orward skin. A lot of the rivet locations are about impossibe to get to - especially along the sides in the gear boxes. I've considered cherry max r ivets=2C but the smallest size is too large. Is anyone aware of screws bei ng used instead of rivets for this skin? If the longerons are tapped and platenuts are installed on tops of the bulk head=2C firewall and panel=2C flat head screws (NAS514 machine screws) coul d be used. Also=2C this would make it possible to remove the skin and wind shield=2C I believe. Any comments would be appreciated. Breece Nesbitt RV-8 N28117 Hi Breece=2C The text below is from my log entry regarding this vary thing. "CherryMax CR3214 Pop Rivets On Gear Towers There were about 6 rivets on each side of the top instrument panel skin tha t were located inside the gear towers. Consequently=2C getting to the backs ide to buck them was nearly impossible. I suppose with just the right bucki ng bar=2C crafted specifically just for reaching those pesky rivets=2C you probably could buck them=2C but of the 8 or 9 bucking bars I have=2C nothin g came even close. I did a little research on the Net and found that many people have been usi ng CherryMax CR3214 4-4 Pop rivets for these few rivets. These=2C however =2C seem to be a little hard to find because they have a 1/8" body=2C but a 3/32" countersunk rivet head. I found a great source for them=2C however =2C at Genuine Aircraft Hardware Company ( http://www.gen-aircraft-hardware .com/store.asp?alternate=CR3214%2D4%2D4 ). These guys have all kind of ni fty hardware for aircraft and are very friendly and helpful on the phone. G ive them a call and have them ship you a catalog=3B a resource guide in and of itself. I ordered 30 or so of the CR3214 4-4 and when they arrived=2C I drilled the holes out to 1/8" and then stuck them in the holes. The are really cool an d leave a completely flush rivet that almost cannot be distinguished from a standard 426 3/32" rivet. In fact=2C the mandrel of these pop rivets break s off exactly flush as well=2C so they don't even leave any ugly hole. By the way=2C if you have a decent "standard" pop rivet tool=2C it should w ork with the CR3214 rivets as well. No need to buy a special rivet tool."

Do you have your final registration cert from the FAA in hand before you can apply for your Airworthiness cert, or is the pink copy of the registration sufficient? > >Matt Dralle I found the following bit of information on the FAA web site regarding registrations and the use of the Pink copy. Here's an excerpt from the link that follows: "You can also check the Document Index to see if recently mailed registration documents have arrived at the Aircraft Registration Branch. Arrival of registration documents in the Registry enables confirmation that application for registration has been made and temporary (pink-copy) operating authority is in effect. Processing registration documents related to a change in aircraft ownership averages 16 working days after their receipt." http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/aircraft_certification/aircraft_registry/registration_status/ To me, this sounds like as soon as the FAA has received the registration and entered it into the system as indicated by an on line status search, you are allowed to use the Pink copy until the real copy arrives. I would then assume that Airworthiness could be applied for under the same conditions...?
