I'm sure there is already a discussion about this somewhere on VAF, but now that I am about to start dimpling the skins, etc on my RV3 fuselage, I occurs to me that there are a lot of places that will be hard or impossible to rivet/buck unless I do it in the right succession. Can anyone point me to a thread that discusses this, or enlighten me on the general procedure?
A friend of mine said that he would recommend putting on all the skins except one side skin (these are flat and can be "rolled" on), but Van's plans call for the skins to be lapped forward-over-aft, and top over bottom, which would prevent putting the side skin on last.
I am looking for advice, experience and recommendations.
Thanks
