"Boy, these -3 rivets sure look short for this hole"... But remembering the manual's advice not to go for longer rivets here, I forged ahead. My shop heads are really pretty small. Much smaller than on the rudder, where the dimples seem pretty full. Here, there is a lot of empty space in the dimple. They are clearly smaller than the avery shop-head gauge when placed over them. You can't see the edge of the hole, though. (poor picture...look at the right hand one: http://hmb.dyndns.org/~eastham/rv/images/20040415_IMG_0657.JPG ) I think the problem stems from my AEX wedge location; mine is probably slightly further aft than it should be. I was definitely catching a thicker part of it than on the rudder/elevators. Anyone else have a similar experience? I'm tempted to drill them out and go to -3.5. I guess I could try a few first then see how they go. Paul http://hmb.dyndns.org/~eastham/rv PS: Anyone found a fast(er) way to countersink the AEX yet? I have been spring-clamping the thing to my drill press for each hole, to keep the countersink from taking a huge bite. I've got 1 aileron and 2 huge flaps to go, not looking forward to that... ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 10:48:24 PM PST US From: Paul Eastham Subject: RV9-List: More on aileron TE --> RV9-List message posted by: Paul Eastham So all the double-flush trailing edges in the kit use the same 11.9 AEX extrusion. Yet the rudder and elevator call for -3.5 rivets while the aileron and flaps call for -3. Makes no sense! I'm worried about the ability of my undersize shop heads to hold onto that skin...I'll see what Van's has to say about it, though I think they're all still away at SnF. Paul
