I am on page 7-2 of Van's joke of a builder's manual. The third paragraph down has me rivet the K1000-4 nutplates to the forward spar side.
It also tells me to reference DWG 11. I can't find any info about the correct rivets to use anywhere in (what Vans calls) the manual or on any of the plans pages.
Do they assume that buy now the builder will determine the correct rivets to use? Do I need a secret code or do I need to pay more money to get building instructions?
I've built two previous airplanes and have screwed up many many parts because I 'thought' I knew what I was doing and didn't reference the manual often enough.
Now I've finally learned not to do that!
I want to physically read about the correct rivets to use and even though I can see what side of the spar to rivet the nutplates on by looking at others online build logs, for my piece of mind I want to see it on the plans somewhere.
Can someone please guide me on this step.
Thanks
