Looking over V Stab
Ok, finally finished Ning the time to look over the rudder from the partial built kit I just picked up.
1. First, I'm just now noticing that the skin rivets may have been set with the blue vinyl then later removed. I say this because I see blue specs stuck under neath a dozen or so under the rivets.
2. There is a very small gap between the left spar cap and the rear spar.
3. Page 6-4 says to leave 3 horizontal places open. Well, they were riveted. These are part of the VS-1004 or bottom rib.
Is 1 and 2 above a "build on" situation or do I need to remedy them? What's the best way to drill out those 3 rivets in 3 above. I'll post pics later.
