Riveting of the side skin to F-01204G-L
I'm trying to figure out why I am not supposed to rivet the upper portion of the side skin to F-01204G-L (side Bulkhead). (see RED) I don't see any reason not to, but I yield to the wisdom that is Van's until someone tells me otherwise. (See page 23iS/U-10)

Interesting observation, David. I studied page 23iS/U07 and 23iS/U10 and they don?t seem to be saying the same thing. On page 10, it definitely looks like you shouldn?t rivet those holes. However, on page 7, the holes that aren?t supposed to be riveted are marked with a triangle, but the holes you?re asking about don?t have a triangle.
Sounds like a good question for tech support. Please let us know what they say. |

David/Doug,
Maybe time to split the forum or ask people to define whether it is a Mk1 RV12 or a Mk 2. This is a Mk2 as we legacy builders have different structure around there. |

I definitely agree that you should say whether it?s Gen 1 or Gen 2, but you can also tell if someone refers to a page in the plans. For Gen 1, the pages are numbered by like this: Page 20-05. For the iS fuselage, pages are typically labeled like this: Page 20iS/U-05. Pages that are only for 912 iS-powered aircraft look like this: Page 27iS-05. Pages that are only for 912 ULS-powered aircraft look like this: Page 27U-05. |
Simply needs to be in the title.
The rest would be self explanatory Love the GB ref - marvellous ! Just don't refer to the 12 as a dog though...... Zuul ! |

Well, I read somewhere that the space shuttle was attached to the 747 carrier aircraft with only 3 bolts...

The Mk1 tank has 'fragilised' bolts. |
David.............thanks for posting the drawing of the "IS" tank install. I've been curious about it.
Did you ever get your mystery solved about the line of rivets not being installed? Jim |

The holes marked within the red area should be LP4-3 |
