This might be the only time I wish I was a bit slower in building a component  - Just got this one finished a couple of months ago, now i get to drill all those nice rivets back out.

Dick,  

   

Can you get it done before you get paint?  Hopefully they haven’t started yet.

I think I am going to be sick at the thought of taking the elevator/pitch trim apart again!  But! Better now than when I am flying.

Bob:

  

 I hope so, the airplane is in the paint shop now and was not  due for finish painting until next week.  I asked them to "go slow" until I  can get the parts and get over there to install.  The pre-paint disassemble  has already been done so that will help a little.  I think the mod could be  done after painting but it would be more difficult and nerve racking.  We  may have caught this one in the nick of time.

  

 Regards

As people complete this SB, it will be interesting to see how many others see some cracks. 

That will take some time to fix.  

I swear that even after getting the plane flying I work on it 1 hour for every hour that I fly it. 

(not really but sometimes it feels like that)

Join the crowd!



But I think I'm on the other side of the power curve now.....if only 

the SB had come out when I had the bird apart for painting!



Not going to tackle this one till next ACI unless a crack appears.

Best I can tell this mod does not effect the exterior paint nor require any

repainting. If any of you  find out that this is not the case let me know.

My fuse is at the painter. The emp is not attached. I assume I can do the

mod before I do final assembly.

G'day all,

  

 Removing AN470 rivets is greatly simplified with Avery's  Rivet removal tool (Part #40053).  But removing the rivet shank without  mangling the longerons is going to be a right PITA.  Anyone have any  suggestions or useful techniques for removing rivets from thick material?   Driving them out has not worked well for me in the past.

  

 cheers 

 Ron

Yep but will give me something to do since the  DYNON is still not back from being repaired.

 Thick material I take the head off give a tap and  with pliers give the driven part of the rivet a turn to loosen it.

A few people have asked me off-line if I've seen anything of the

SB or the cracks associated.  Well, yesterday I was on a good x/c

trip.  Quite an adventure, actually, so no, it was all news to me,

and of course, unless you're looking hard for cracks in just the

right place, you'd never catch them on an inspection, so no, I

didn't notice any on mine...but I didn't look hard at that area

either.



On person suggested using a hi-res digital camera (or HD video

cam for that matter...I just got one) to do the inspection.

Probably a great idea.



I've also heard from someone hoping to find an alternate method

of compliance.  I'm sure there could be many ways of doing

reinforcements.



I plan to, once my kit arrives, get it done soon.  I cringe

every time I'm in turbulence.  I've never had super trust in

strength of materials....valid or not.  The other area that

always gets my stomach twisted are those 2 L-brackets that

hold the Horizontal Stab on at the front spar. But, I've always

figured that it must be engineered strong enough.  At least

that's what I tell myself as I'm banging along in the bumps.

I'm just hoping that once this is all done, there is plenty

of strength, because it's going to be a major pain in the

rear to disassemble this, and I don't want to do it again.

So sorry, no news to add here, but I'll probably take pictures

and write it up when I do the job.

A good reason for selling my future, beautifully completed RV10 and getting a two place sailplane. Just have to tell the third person in my family tough luck you can't go today. My single place sailplane, 500+ hours and no problems. Except for vacuuming and washing, almost maintainence free.

  

 One step forward one step back.

  

 Think I'll keep working toward completion to make sure this cures the problem before I tear it down.

Good idea. Remember the V tail Bonanza: fixed a few times before  it finally had enough rivets and doublers in the tail.

The truth is I get alot of enjoyment out of the flying, the work and maintenance.  I don't have to work on it as much as I do but I want to make sure I am at the front of the useful life curve on everything.  When you change the oil every 25 hours, new brakes every 150 - 200 hours, prop lube every 100 hours, tire rotation about every 150 hours, new plugs in the electronic ignition every 100 - 125 hours, the annual every year and then little things that you want to improve, you put some time into the plane. 



But in return for all the work I have a totally awesome cross country machine that I can travel with and is completely reliable.  When I get ready to go somewhere I don't even think twice about something failing because I know the maintenance has been completed and  everything is in proper working order.  With a Cirrus or other production plane, you really have no idea if something is wrong because you don't get the feel for when things are 50% worn and need replacing.



With a new plane we can probably expect a few issues like this.  It is still one of the most fun four place planes out there.

I just came across this device called a QuickPod (~$25.00) One could set the timer for a photo or just video the area:

By using a digital camera to tap a few pictures of the area, I'll bet you can put the camera in the rear inspect cover opening and be able to see this area well instead of removing the emp fairing which has a ton more screws.  Thoughts?

Did the inspection tonight and all is well after 34 hours.  Took about 15

minutes and was easy to get a good look with the fairing off.
