Fitting SB 16-03-28 on new wings

[storkeye]

So, I went ahead and asked Van's and their official guidance is as follows...

Trimming these at a 45? angle is perfectly acceptable and is what I would recommend you do in this case.

I sent Van's this picture as part of my question which shows the cut marks in red...



Hope this helps.

I just put bs-319 pull rivets in and called it a day. I didn't figure out the problem until I was mostly done riveting the skin on.

So, I had already riveted the top skins on before I installed the SB. What I didn't think of was riveting the aileron gap cover to the web of the main spar. I thought I was going to be able to get my bucking bar flush but the picture shows otherwise.

What's the best option here?

I have the RV7's sister, the RV9, and this is not a problem. The rivet is between the flanges. I will still need a thin bucking bar, but I think the RV9 will be OK. Sorry to invade the RV7 forum.

I guess I should have mentioned this is on an RV-14.

One rivet! leave it and build on. Some may disagree...just sayin.

Had the same issue on the RV-10.

You could probably leave it. I boogered mine worse than that.

Installed a cherrymax with Vans approval.
