******************************************************************************
RV9-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the RV9-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the RV9-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
RV9-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the RV9-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
- Occassional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularyly
subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by
List members promoting their respective products or items for sale
should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble
a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but
is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to
everyone, including those who provide products to the entire
community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the
operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.

Hello everyone. Question: I am preparing to install the flap attach brackets (925-a)
to the ribs and was wondering if I could do this before installing the top
wing skins. In theory this would make the riviting easier by allowing me to
use the squeezer for all. Am I missing something? Would not installing the skins
not give the skeleton enough rigidity to allow for proper bracket install?
Your input would be welcome.

Good question. I asked Bruce Reynolds at Van's this very thing. He didn't
know if it was ok (he hasn't built a 9) but thought it was. Also asked
Scott Risan (also of Van's) and he felt it was fine. I know of at least one
builder who has done this also.
So, I did it that way but I haven't got the top skins on yet so I'm not sure
if there are any traps here. I can tell you that my squeezer doesn't want
to do rivets that long so I used a 3x gun. However, you are absolutely
right that riveting is a lot easier with the top skins off. One thing I did
do was to have either a top or bottom skin clecoed on to guarantee alignment
when I drilled the brackets and when I drove the first one or two rivets on
each.
There is also a bit of a story regarding aligning the middle flap hangar if
you're interested.

The double offset rivet set I bought from Averys did the job without
deviating from the plans/manual. Perhaps a bit uncomfortable, but get used
to it...the fuse kit is next! Also, my middle flap bracket aligned perfectly
with no adjustment. Thanks Vans!

SC 9A fuse...hoping to roll over the canoe this week
