I took a piece of sheet steel as thick as I could get to fit between the
flanges, drilled a number 40 hole and countersunk it. I used that as
the female dimple die.

Hi Ken:
I took a piece of 3/16" steel bar by about an inch wide. Drilled a 3/32"
hole in it and used a countersink to make a female dimple die.
Then I put the steel in a vice, used a piece of small pipe as a driver on a
male dimple and a hammer to dimple the rib.
I hope this helps.
Regards, Gunnar

John
I think I just bent the flanges apart dimpled them with the squeezer
then bent them back. I think I had to use a pop rivet there also
because it was to tight to buck both sides.

| Subject: | Wing Jig Question |
--> RV9-List message posted by: "Richard E. Tasker" <retasker@optonline.net>
I have just built a roll-around wing jig based on the information on
drawing 15 of the RV9 plans. Due to my building constraints I couldn't
make a permanently installed one. It is sufficiently braced so it is
rigid and the casters all have brakes so I should be okay from that
aspect. It is finished except for the mounting of the cross bars which
the wing spar rests on.
The question is: If you scale Van's drawing, it indicates that this bar
is approximately 3 ft. from the ground. This seems low to me, but I
might be missing some reason to put it so low. Does anyone who has
worked on their wings have any suggestions or comments regarding this
height? What height did you use?
Thanks,
Dick Tasker 90573
Ready to stsrt the wings!

A friend just put me onto a really neat site that shows all the radar
traffic in the San Francisco bay area. Tune into www.sjc.org, click on
the
Airport Flight Tracking System in the upper right hand side of the
screen,
then click on the SJC Airport Monitor-Internet Flight Tracking System at
the

you
can look at the archives and view your past flights.

Hi Dick,
I think if your 2 vertical posts are perfectly plumb and aligned with each
other you don't really need a cross bar, all though it adds some rigididy.
It is shown in the plans but does not really have a purpose in the
construction of the wing. The wing actually mounts on the the vertical
posts the only thing I used mine for was to block the spar to make the spar
straight and actually after the skins were on they held it straight anyway.
