Brief Description: Dimpled spar, skins, and ribs
|
|
I had to order a new 3/32" dimple die, which I got yesterday (along with a few other things). One of those things was the short lightweight hose kit. This attaches to my oiler/filter, so I can finally start making use of the thing. It's not in a very good spot right now, but I plan on having it mounted on a wall once our new garage is built. (Setting up the oil filter and getting it to work took another hour on top the the hour I'm logging here - the darn thing kept leaking!)I deburred and dimpled all of the relevant holes on the skins, spar, and ribs. The last 3 holes on each side of the ribs will need to be done using a special method.. one that requires me to machine a bit of soft steel. My squeezer won't fit between the narrowing flanges, though I know I could get a head with a much narrower neck - but I still wouldn't be able to get the very last ones as the dimple die itself is bigger than the opening! I'm planning on going to Lowe's tomorrow and get that and another piece of steel to use for back riveting, hopefully, as I'd like to get this finished so I can start inventorying my empennage kit.
