I am a new builder and started to build on the tail section of the RV 12.
So far not too many problems. Rudder completed.
Something bothers me where I need some expert opinion.
In the plans and on the video there is no mention about final drilling the
skins. With my experience the rivets will not fit through the skin and ribs
without running the #30 drill through first, or at least on most holes.
It seems the holes are about 1/1000 th too small.
If the holes are deburred in the first place, there is no burr visible after
drilling.
How are you handling it?
1: deburr all holes, cleco, drill and rivet
or
2: cleco, drill, remove-deburr, cleco and rivet
Any advise please -
