My RV-8 build


Date: 4-9-2013
Number of Hours: 1.00
Manual Reference: Page 8-29
Brief Description: Fuselage disassembly #2

Removed all of the fuse pieces off that weren't required for the next few steps. I removed the seat rib assembly and clecoed the forward fuse floor to the front and rear flanges of the centre section. I machine countersunk the #30 holes in the two rivet lines to accept a #30 dimple. I then removed the front skins and reclecoed the aux longeron. With the Andair fuel valve, the next step doesn't work with the F-883-1, so I'll have to devise a bracket system for the fuel valve.

Bootom skin #30 holes on the entre section machine countersunk

Need to touch up the primer here.
