Catégorie: Wings : Final assembly

Gaà«l, future RV-9A builder gave me a hand setting the remaining rivets on the bottom of the right wing. After some training we finished in no time alternating the use of the gun, the bucking bar and the squeezer.



We also installed the OAT probe.

Catégorie: Wings : Final assembly

I go on riveting the right wing bottom skins. I have some difficulties with some rivets on the rear spar and make two small dings.
I improved the way I rolled back the skin by using a strap rather than duct tape.
I also leave some rivets out as I will rivet them tomorrow with Gaà«l, a future builder

Catégorie: Finishing : Wiring

I go on lacing the wiring. I first finish the runs on the floor. Access near the firewall has me crouching under the panel. It's not easy and it's not the last time.
I can put back the electric fuel pump.



Then I put back the forward fairing. I have to modify it so it does not interfere with the heat valve cable.
One can make out the two wire runs going up the firewall, I still have to tie them up.



I then lace the wire runs coming from the engine and clamp them down.
This is the left side.



And this is the right side.

As it's pouring down today I postpone working on the wing.
So I go on with lacing the wiring. After having done the right stick, I can cleco the floors.



I then do some small works including the service bulletin on the autopilot pitch servo.
To finish the afternoon I begin lacing the harnesses running along the floor. This is the left side.
