1st time post guys.
My RV-10 kit will arrive in a week and as this is my 1st aircraft build I'd like to do some practice rivet/squeeze/dimple.
I will be buying some sheet aluminum for use as practice as well as later on building:
- tray for mounting ADAHRS/magnetometer
- back-plates for skin openings (rudder trim servos)
- etc.
Can you guys recommend what sheet thicknesses I will need to acomplish the above?
I understand that the kit uses:
- 0.016 skins
- 0.025 ribs
Thanks guys & gals
