Hi,
I had set myself a goal to finish the empennage of my RV9 before departing to Oshkosk. It didn't work out as planned...
In preparation to glue the wedges of the rudder and elevators, I noticed by coincidence that some rivets are having a small gap in the dimple hole.
While having a closer look I noticed that there a quite a few with this issue.
It is rather a surprise because these are actually one of the more easy rivets to set as they are easy accessible and set with a hand squeezer.
Any idea how this happened? Seen this before? What would you do with them?
Thanks!
