| Subject: | RV8A Building Question |
Dear Listers ...
I bought a partially complete kit. The building manual was not all there
and I'm, therefore, not sure which step to begin next. There are several
places where rivets are not installed (pending steps to take, in sequence
I'm sure).
I would like to learn from this vast group of builders:
What should I do to make sure I begin at the next step to keep the sequence
of steps in order? It wouldn't be smart to get to a place then find several
rivets need drilled-out to install something else.
I don't mind buying a new build manual if that's called for, or replacing
missing prints.
What would you gents do in this case?
Many thank for your answers ...

Jerry,
I would recommend you buy the manual and plod through the building process
step by step from the beginning. Many of the tasks will be completed but you
will have the comfort of verifying that for yourself and not just hoping the
original builder did it. At least it will be a lot faster verifying the
original builder's work than having to fabricate, assemble, and rivet
yourself.
In order to keep from having to drill out perfectly good rivets to install
another part, you have to have an understanding of the entire process. As
Van advises, read ahead in the manual and study the plans so you know where
the project is going before you get there. If all this sounds a little
esoteric, it is but you will join the group (after you drill out a few
perfectly good rivets to install another part) :)
Good Luck
John Ciolino

Buy the manual and I hope you have the complete plans, as you will need them. Then
study them before drilling or driving a rivet.
