My RV-8 build


Date: 2-12-2013
Number of Hours: 1.00
Manual Reference: Page 8-4
Brief Description: Landing gear box assembly #5

Entry #2 this evening. After dimpling the access covers to #8, I also dimpled the F-802C's to #8 as well. I clecoed the forward and aft bulkheads together and then clecoed the K1100-8 platenuts to the F-802C's and riveted them in place. Tested the access cover for the gear tower and it fits like a glove. I'm quite happy with the results. Tomorrow night, I'll complete the riveting of the gear towers.
