Fellow RV-9/7 fuselage builders,
I am just about complete with my riveting of my RV-7 fuselage (upside down). I
am having troubles setting the forward most AN426AD4 rivet that joins the side
skin, bottom skin, longeron and firewall weldment. I have tried several different
bucking bars. Most of them are lighter then I would normally use to set
1/8 rivets, but due to the flanges on the weldment I can't use my larger and
heavier bucking bars. I believe most of the energy is going into the structure
and not the rivet. I am using a 3X gun and running 50 psi.
Any thoughts?
Paul
