Rear spar rivetting... real construction! |
|
|
Rivetted the rear spar, and it felt like real progress! The outer rivets seemed awfully long at 5/16th, and couldnt keep them straight. The instructions state specifically that ' the rivet lengths called for on the plans are correct, so I persevered. Not happy with the result though, so I emailed Van's. Eric Rushing responded, and confirmed that at times, the plans are wrong so use own judgement to get the best size! I guess the old adage 'if it looks wrong, it usually is" applies. 4/16th rivets work just fine! |
