The instructions say to use sealant on the screws holding the inspection
plate on the tanks. What type of sealant have you guys used? I would think
that ProSeal would make the screws virtually impossible to remove. Also,
did you apply the sealant to the threads or to the shank and head? If you
just apply it to the threads, I can still see a leakage path.
Thanks

Daniel,
I used Proseal on mine. I had to remove one to adjust the fuel pickup so
that is not a problem.

Daniel,
I used proseal. I also ignored Van's advice to put proseal under the cork
gasket. My reasoning was that if I needed to take the cover off to fix a
leak I'd be able to and if the cork leaked I could always proseal it later.
As it turned out I did have a leaking bnc connector (using the capacitive
sender) so I took the cover off, fixed the leak, and put it back - no leaks.

Hi Folks,
I'm in the process of fitting the vertical stabilizer to the
fuselage of my RV-9 (taildragger). The rear spar of the stab
is supposed to fit flush against the rear-most bulkhead. No
problem. However the flanges of the rear spar foul the lower 3
or 4 rivets that connect the fuse side skin to the rearmost
bulkhead. You can see it in the following pic.
Has anyone else had this issue ? Any thoughts on a solution -
just bend the spar flanges until they're out of the way ?

Hi Gerry,
I don't have all my plans and stuff at home but I
think you were supposed to use flush rivets, flush
side forward on those rivets.

I did not use proseal on those inspection or access
plates but just treated them with fuel lube. They
didn't leak badly but they did leak. I had to remove
both tanks, flush them out and reseal them with
proseal. My advice. Use proseal.

Hey Dennis,
I think you're talking about the rivets on the web of the rear
spar ... those are working out OK for me.
I'm having difficulty with the rivets on the side skins and
fuselage bulkhead fouling the flange of the VS rear spar. In
the image it almost seems as though the width of the rear spar
is too much for the width of the rear-most bulkhead.
