My RV-8 build


Date: 5-18-2013
Number of Hours: 2.00
Manual Reference: Page 8-36
Brief Description: Fuselage assembly #5

Clecoed the WD-409 tail spring mount and shims to the on the F-811. Final drilled and deburred to 1/4. Bolts attached and torqued. Clecoed then riveted the F-812 and then the F-811 bulkhead assembly to the F-828 aft bottom skin. Had to drill out a couple of rivets here. Riveted the two keeper rivets in the WD-409 tail spring mount. Noticed on two of the tabs for the upper longerons weren't drilled? I'll check that and correct it tomorrow. Slide the lower longerons into position. The rivets were a tight set in some areas.
