In my mind's eye, yes! 



I suspected that these steps could be delayed indefinitely but wasn't 

sure.  Figuring out what can be deferred without penalty is tricky 

sometimes - For example, I now know that if you drill out a bad rivet in 

the HS,  you need to replace it before riveting on rear spar 



Actually, the folks at the Alexander Tech Center fixed the Van's version 

with a weld.  Then I proceeded to do a sloppy job drilling holes in it.  

So I decided to order the Rivethead version anyway, as if anyone except 

me cares whether the four holes are lined up.



Like I said earlier, I got a call and expect delivery by week's end anyway

Are you close to flying? I suspect the only time to really "need" them would be final rigging of the elevator trim. I only trial fitted mine when I installed the HS and elevator which really could have a waited till final assembly...which is 6 months away and that was a year and a half ago. Silver brazing rods and a torch makes Van's versions work just fine in the "Really need tham catagory"

Lol.....



I hate loose ends as well. I don't think the holes line up with the Van's 415's with the Rivethead version which, by the way I need to order along with some new access panels due to the hole allignment issue. Anyone using the Van's versions save yourself some grief and wait to final rivet the 415's to the panel until after your final rigging. It's way easier to turn them when they are not attched to the panel, just cleco until they are properly adjusted.

Sounds like good advice for the Rivethead parts too..  That is, just 

leave the 415 off until mounting the feathers on the tailcone..  Leave 

the access panel undrilled and cleco'd in place until then too.



BTW, UPS just delivered the Rivethead parts.  They look good.  Should 

save some time.



Bill - plunging ahead with the tailcone and prepping to prime the 

elevators and trim tab parts.
