Hi folks,
In the below photo, the plans recommend double flush riveting in the area where the gear weldment snugs up against the spar carry through flange (red oval). A couple of questions, it looks like there is room for a normal shop head (i.e., not double flush). Are most people finding they need to double flush? Also, what is the sequence here? The plans say to rivet on the side skins, but the gear weldment would have to be in place first, no? When does the F-972 bottom skin get riveted to the F-976 center section? Seems that would have to happen before positioning the gear weldment.
Any help??? Thanks again as always
