My first VAF forum question.... (always have been able to use 'search' to find someone who's had the same issue until now)
The rivets that attach the 7A wing ribs to the front spar appear to be WAY too long. Van's calls out for AN470AD4-7 for all the ribs to the front spar. Thought it maybe my lousy technique... but they're bending consistently... I'm practicing on my scrap, and everything bends over. Using a 3x gun, tried changing air pressure, no difference.
Never had to use my rivet cutter before. Is this where I start cutting rivets?
Thanks for any response you may give.
