RV-3B Top & Bottom Wing Skin Rivet Pattern

[pekuba1610]

Marking the positions for the rivets on the main ribs for setting the flutes I proceeded according to DR9 as mentioned in the manual.





But there are these two other sketches SK35 & SK36





According to these sketches, there are some variations from the Typ. spacing of 1 1/4".
Does anybody know if the 1" spacing is for all the rivets, along the ribs, which are in the red areas?
I guess it means you have to use this spacing, but I'm not absolutely sure.

I used an inch on mine for the skin to rear spar joint.

I see no conflict. The arrows that point to your red rows on the SK drawings are consistent with Sheet 9.

7/8 at the main spar, 1 inch at the rear spar.

I read the 1 inch reference on the SK drawings as the distance from the spar rivet lines to the first rib rivet.
