Contrary to its label, that looks more like a leading edge to me.

cjensen said:My dad and I just about finished up the lower tailcone riveting yesterday, and my rivet count (yes, I AM counting each and every one... ) passed 10,000 (10,007 to be exact to this point).
Well, as a matter of fact, I keep two seperate counts going-one for total number of rivets set plus those drilled, and a count for just how many are actually in the airplane. I also keep track of my accuracy set right first time. That number doesn't move much now that I have this many rivets set. My "Numbers" page is here , and you can see I have two counts for total rivets, counts for each section, and counts for each "sub-component" in each section.Jamie said:Hey Chad. I'm just curious. If you have to drill out a rivet and reset it do you count that as one or two rivets? Also...are you counting the number you have drilled out?
If you're at 10,000 and you haven't flipped the fuse yet I'm guessing there must be close to 18K in the 7. I know a lot of people say that there are 14K in the kits but I believe that was for an RV-4. The side-by-sides are quite a bit larger than the -4. I'm very curious to see where you finish up. Keep us posted!

Am I losing my sanity here??
