Jeff & Jackie's RV-8 Project

Number of Hours:  3.50
Manual Reference:  7-8
Brief Description:  Leading edge assembly

Rivetted the leading edge together. It wasn't easy to do outside of the jig as I had thought would be necessary. I added some padding to the bottom of the jig and this lifted the leading edge assembly high enough to prevent it twisting. Much easier to rivet this wasy. Having said that, I think I drilled out over a dozen rivets during the assembly! I was hoping Jackie would help me out, but I was able to do it solo without too much drama and she was head down with her bio-med exams so I didn't want to disturb her. All sorted though, and I decided the next job would be the leading edge landing light. Oh, and sorry for the pornogaphic images, but it was damn hot & humid in the shed today, despite the fact it was hissing with rian outside!!
