Jeff Mitchell - Experimental Aircraft Builder's Log

Jeff Mitchell's RV8 project


Date: 8-13-2008
Number of Hours: 3.40
Manual Reference: 7-5
Brief Description: Riveted Z-Bracket nut plates.

I used my rivet squeezer to set the K1000-3 nut plates to the Z-Brackets using AN426AD3-4 flush rivets. They all went perfectly. I tried for about 30 minutes to cleco the tank skin onto the tank ribs but was unable to do this by myself. I will have to wait for the next time Sean is over.

Set up for the fun stuff (riveting)

Clamped in place

Me working hard
