Date:  10-23-2014
Number of Hours:  3.25
Manual Reference:  15-07 steps 1-6
Brief Description:  redo rear spar rivets, install front rivets rt win

Cleco and rivet front main ribs and spar on right wing.

See 14-03 notes in my plans. Modify bottom row and 3 up from bottom on the right rear wing spar doubler W-1207B inboard end. Replace surface rivets with CS4-4 flush rivets. This is done to avoid possible interference with flaperon. This was done per suggestion by Scott Malcomb (RV-12 builder, Eagles Nest) at Oshkosh 2014 and Vans Aircraft email. See picture of finished mod. on left wing on 8/6/14. Here is body of email from Vans to Scott approving this mod:

> I ran the issue by both Van and Rian here. Both agreed that the offending rivets could be replaced with CS4-4 rivets to alleviate the interference issues. The rivets are predominantly in shear to the head shape should not affect the strength much.
>
> Another possible fix would be to lightly file the heads to remove any rough edges.
