What Rivet

[Brent Colvin]

I'm having a hard time finding the rivet call out for the W-721 Flap brace, and W-724 Aileron gap fairing. No problem finding the blind rivets, just the flush rivets. Have looked at plans, but no luck. Could somebody please help.
Thanks

3-3

Brent,

The RV-6 plans call for a AN426AD3-3.

I know the -7 model is a slightly different configuration in this area, but if it's a 0.016 fairing piece and a 0.025 skin being riveted together, then the 3-3 is still the appropriate flush rivet...

My 7 plans say -4 for the flap brace, -3 for the aileron fairing.

If you're asking what I think you're asking, the drawing to look at is #12.

I don't have the wings in front of me, so take this with a grain of salt, but it looks like:
piano hinge-to-W721-to bottom skin = AN426AD3-4
aileron gap fairing (W724)-to-top skin = AN426AD3-3

Ooops...

Sorry... ony read the aileron brace bit...
My comments were for the outer (aileron) brace only...
