Default RV-10 Section 14 Rivets

I'm trying to figure out how many rivets are used to attach the ribs to the spar. On the 3 outer ribs, its calling for (4) -5 rivets... yet there are 8 holes that I match drilled. Not sure if this is a mistake or not. Funny thing is that the image is not clear because if you count up the rivets between the two that they show, it totals (5). On the inner-most rib (not shown below), it calls for (5) -7 rivets and there are actually 6 holes that I match drilled... so same question there. Planning on giving Van's a call tomorrow. Didn't know if anyone recalls whether this is a mistake or not.



Thanks
Charlie

Hi Charlie... yes, I remember this and it is just a mistake in the plans, the counts are off a bit for a few of the ribs. Put a rivet in each hole that you match-drilled, with the exception of the outboard-most rib which is just clecoed for now (per plans).

Happy riveting!
