Does anybody know of a website that shows detailed photographs of the
baffling for a Lycoming? Van's baffle drawing package is hard to
comprehend.

Hi Leyland,
I just finished my baffling last month and the joke in hanger was: the
baffling instructions are baffling.
The advice given me was to just start with the large pieces, bolt them on,
one at a time, and study the plans as you go.
I set up my work table by the engine compartment, spread the plans along the
wing and taped them down and started with the part that screws to the #2
cylinder. I put all the parts that screw to the cylinders and with that much on
the other parts start to be come understandable. We spent a good 2 weeks
getting it all done.
Keep hacking at it and good luck.

FYI - I have been going to WT Tools for things like 3M deburring wheels
and the V-block ($14) you need for drilling the control rods. Great
prices for this kind of stuff. (They have a warehouse by my office in
Charlotte and I can walk to it during lunch. Can you say, "Very
dangerous!")
They have brand name tools and as well as off-brand tools. The off
brand tools are OK but be careful.

| Subject: | Joint plate hole location |
--> RV9-List message posted by: "Bill Repucci" <bill@repucci.com>
I messed up the first plate joint by following the plans and had the
same problem you describe. On the second 919 strip I measured the width
of the rib web and marked both sides of the doubler plate with that
measurement. I then measured and drilled on hole on one end of the 919
strip and cleco'ed it to the outside of the LE skin and bent it around,
watching to make sure the line I scribed matched the edge of the skin.
I then removed the end rib and cleco'ed the strip to the inside of the
skin w/o the end rib in place. Again, watching to make sure my line was
on the edge of the skin I started at the one cleco (This doesn't matter
if it is on the top or bottom of the wing, just as long it is the first
hole by the spar.) and drilled the next hole up & cleco'ed it in place.
I worked my way up to the LE and back down the other side to the spar.
Once all that was done, I removed the strip, put the rib back in place
and drilled it to match the skin, cleco'ing as I went. Now everything
should be drilled so you can put it together and test fit it all. I ran
the drill through the holes again and this helped everything line up
just right w/o enlarging the holes out of spec.
Good luck!

I didn't have the problem you described. The holes were definitely more
centrally located on the joint plate than you're describing. Here are
links to a couple of photos on my web site that may be helpful. It
sounds like you may not have located the joint plate correctly before
you started drilling the holes.

Fellow RV builders,
ExperimentalAero has just introduced a new dimpling tool the DRDT-2. Take a look at http://www.experimentalaero.com/DRDT-2.htm for details. It is professionally designed for the experimental builder in mind. I just wished I had one when I built my RV-4.
I understand that Bob Avery (Avery tools) will have a DRDT-2 for demonstration
at Sun' N Fun in April.
