--> RV9-List message posted by: Paul Eastham <eastham@netapp.com>
Hi all,
Has anyone noticed an interference problem on the main gear weldments?
The bottom-most rivet on the side skins through the center section
seems to intersect with the weldment flange that takes the 5 bolts.
Here's a picture:

Seems like the safest thing to do is remove it and relieve the
weldment -- wish I hadn't bolted it in yet! Those bolts at the bottom
sure are hard to work on, and the seat pan platnuts make removal very
difficult.
If you haven't gotten this far yet I'd highly recommend
figuring this out before installation...I'll post Van's response
as well when they get back to me.

Keep at 'er Bill. I finally went into the paint shop last week. Jeez, I
suddenly have nothing to do and I've run out of my favorite excuse for not
going to wifey, boring functions: "Sorry Hon, have to work on the plane
tonight." She's fired the gardner now that "I'm freed up again" and I'm
scheduled for the next Chamber meeting next week. Hmmm, that RV10 kit
looks pretty interesting...

Listers,
Has anyone sanded the gelcoat off the fiberglass end caps on the rudder, verticle
stab ect. I know that gelcoat tends to crack after a period of time.
Any advice on this is appreciated

I have a 7A and I remember somewhere the rivet call out is to double flush
this one and the one on the other side as well. By your picture you don't have
the gear bracket bolted in. The rivet goes inside out BTW
I think this will solve your interfearance problem

Well, my blueprint shows a universal head rivet and no note for
double-flush or inside-out in that location. I don't think
inside-out would be sufficient to solve the problem.
