Andre Burger - Experimental Aircraft Builder's Log

Welcome to our RV-8 build log


Date: 9-20-2008
Number of Hours: 4.00
Manual Reference: 8-5
Brief Description: Completed riveting gear towers

We finally received our long AN470 rivet set so we shot the lower rivets on the box weldments that couldn't be reached with the squeezer. Once the towers were riveted we clecoed them to the forward floor and match drilled all the holes as per instructions.
