Hello, I am new to the list and started the VS for my -10.
Here is my question: I countersunk every second hole of the right flange of
the VS-1003 and I now the hole in the VS-1003 has the size that an AD3
rivet head fits just about through. the rear spar cap holes are still #40.
Will this be still ok to rivet the skin on?

Best Regards
Michael # 511

Welcome! I've looked at the plans and cannot quite determine what step has
you countersink every second hole of the right flange of the VS-1003. And
did you machine countersink these holes? It sounds as if you are too deep.
Do you have any pictures?

I just went through this step. I'm not sure what you mean by every second
hole - the way I interpeted the manual was to countersink a subset of the
holes on V-1003, dimple another group, and finally leave some of another
group of holes alone.

I was also worried about the countersinks being too deep because the
aluminum is pretty thin - I thought they looked too deep AND needed
different rivet.

The instructions say to be sure to make the countersinks are deep enough to
accept the dimple in the skin. I then realized that the countersunk holes
are used to connect the skin, the V-1003, AND the spar caps all together,
and the rivet will not be squeezed behind VS-1003 but behind the spar cap,
which is not dimpled or countersunk. That made me feel better about the
countersink appearing too big. The spar cap is designed to support the
assembly.
