Doing the horizontal stab spar SB on my RV4
Looking at the kit and the drawings specifically fig 5
It appears the only rivets through the spar are the 8 rivets in the 2 hinge brackets.
My experince tells me there should be some rivets going out into the fingers on each side of the hinge brackets going through the spar webs
Tom at vans didnt know if it was an oversight considering its not a predrilled kit.
Are the pre drilled kits drilled out there?
If I were just doing a repair i would put rivets there
Thanks
