Spending a bunch of time on just messing around with the empennage. With the oversight of the neighborhood kids, I set the MK-319-BS rivets on the left elevator.
I then spent time inspecting the trailing edge on my
rudder. I have a bit of gap in the trailing edge. I think this is due to a
combination of the 3M tape and my countersinks may have been a touch shallow. I
have been pondering this a while and I have half a mind to fill the very slight
gap with 3M 2216 epoxy adhesive. I will send an email to vans support to double
check if that will be acceptable.
I then set out to set the outstanding rivets on the
HS-0005/00006 to the forward HS spar. I managed to set 3 of the 4 large rivets,
but I had quite the trouble with the last one. Folded it over, tried again.
Folded it over. Now the hole was loose enough that I have to go up a size to a
AN470AD5 rivet. My edge distance clearance is really good here (0.502") so
It's minor.
Enough for today!
