hi all,
Just reading ahead and trying to understand the process for the rudder, and can't seem to understand something (probably something basic!).
On 7-08 Step 2 we backrivet the R-000904B1 bottom rib and the R-00918 Attach Strip to the right skin. We rivet all rivets along that line, except the forward 4, which is where we will rivet the R-00910 Horn Brace later on page 7-10.
Then on 7-10 Step 2, we get to the R-00904A1 Bottom Rib and the other R00918 attach strip. Step 2 has us riveting the aft 8 holes common to both the attach strip and rib/skins. Meaning we leave the aft most hole which is common to ONLY the rib and the skin, and we leave all the forward holes (forward of the 8 indicated).
It mentions we may have to peel the trailing edge apart to access the aft 2 holes common to the attach strip, bottom rib and skin.
We then use LP4-3 to attach the Left and Right bottom rib together.
We then do the horn brace on the lower sides only.
We then go back and finish off the horn brace and attach strips to finish the whole line along the bottom, except the aft most hole (as this is common only to the bottom rib and the skins, not the attach strip).
Questions:
1. What is the reason behind doing the aft 8 rivets first, then going back on the next step to do the rest? I can't see any reason for this unless i am missing something obvious?
2. I can't find anywhere that it later calls out to rivet the last rivet on the left hand side - so i am assuming that i should do it in Step 5 of 7-10 along with all the other rivets in that line.
3. It calls out that we may have to peel apart the trailing edge to access the aft 2 rivets of the attach strip - surely the aft rivet is even harder to set here? (may need a no hole squeezer yoke, or use a MK319BS?).
Thank you!
