Dave,
A few thousandths deep won't be a problem. Just make sure the countersunk material isn't knife-edged. ![]() Get the parts clamped together as firmly as you can and rivet. Any load transfer occurs only at the rivets, so as long as there's not a gap at the rivet locations the joint will carry the designed loads. BTW, looks like you're doin' great! |
Thanks for the help...
Vans reminded me in an email that I am not to expect machinist tolerances for these parts. I checked for a knife-edge and the countersinks are fine. Thanks for reminding me of that one too. The build went easy.
![]() VS will be done tomorrow. This forum is quite a resource! Moving on... |
I have a ?....
.... in the pic in post # 7 what is the rivet hole just above the 2 lightening holes? I have one on mine as well, and I can't figure out what it is for. It is not in the plans anywhere. Is it just to draw the 2 parts together better or is it used in a later stage of the build?
Thanks Chris |
Good question. I assumed it was for another airplane or that I would find out later in the build instructions.
|
That hole is for alignment when you mount the VS to the fuse. Don't put a rivet in!
|
Thanks Hendrik!! Good thing I didn't put a rivet in it :D
