Jeff Mitchell - Experimental Aircraft Builder's Log

Jeff Mitchell's RV8 project


Date: 10-23-2007
Number of Hours: 3.00
Manual Reference: 6-15
Brief Description: Riveted Elevator tips.

I fabricated some reinforcing strips from some thin sheet so the blind rivets had something solid to compress against. Then trimed, drilled and countersunk the upper rudder tip. I set the CS-4 blind rivets in place and got to work on the lower tip.
