Bottom of fuselage. Skins corner with a longeron inside and out ??
-
Rivet advice. I have bought some longer a4 rivets. They are plain without the center grab section. See left rivet. Kit a4 is in the middle and kit a5 on the right. I have asked one person who said they Will be fine. But before I get riveting I need a hug and someone else to tell me these are fine to use on my aircraft. ??? Thoughts Thanks Lyndon
-
Another day. Will have look for the rivets. Fingers crossed Lyndon
-
I have yet to use a a 5 flush rivet do the kits must use very few. Seeing I haven't seen one yet
-
Very true. But I can't find a5 flush rivets yet. But saying that I have found every thing else I couldn't find. Lyndon
-
I've run out of the long 1/8th rivets for the fuselage bottom. Are these specific or can I just buy them locally. Lyndon
-
Flush a5 rivets in this section. I can't seem to find any in my kit but a bigger concern is that can one really make it truly flush. Why wouldn't I drill another two holes in the bottom plate and just rivet it all with a5. From what I can see they must want the upper hinge captive ??? Lyndon
-
Found em. Thanks
-
Thanks will look in that section
-
I have looked everywhere in my manual. No mention of fit these or even a pic. I can find them in the parts list. Sg011 x2. They look like they belong here and hold the inspection panel. Am I correct ??? Lyndon
-
I think I have the fuse sorted. Those home made bars did the trick. Most of the issues at the front with double longerons. Off to Melbourne now so Monday I reckon I can rivet it all up fingers crossed. Best part of a week setting up this fuse. Lyndon

Well I was to have the colour on the rudder alerons stabilizer elevator and fin but I'm waiting on my solid rivet dies to finish them. I've done my wheels and landing gear and struts in colour. I may have an engine fingers crossed. Lyndon
-
Yep but I can't do the wings yet as I'm waiting on tanks
-
I've got wings to do. Be a while yet I'm sure
-
Correct. Thus the longeron is only primed on the inside. The outside will be rubbed and primed just prior to painting. Lyndon
-
I dip all my rivets in the same two pack primer. I'm thinking that should work ??? Lyndon
-
I agree. Havnt drilled it yet. Having another look and running a measure over skin vs the holes. The tape is telling me I will fit. Time to have a cuppa
-
Time to drill another rivet I think. The bottom lonererons are side specific. On these the rivets are off set except where a rib joins them. See pic one. Now on the rib a where it meets the longeron at rib a the holes are off set. There is no way in the world I can rivet the rib to the longeron see pic two. Thinking just drill another hole for an extra rivet. Thoughts. Lyndon

Will do at bunnings now. My tyres arrived from the states today. Happy as. $40 bucks from USA to Adelaide. Have to be happy with that.
-
I will see if I can get them locally. Lyndon
-
No never heard of it. But I'm pretty sure of what it will look like. Will get onto it . Thanks Lyndon
-
Will do. The fuse is just miss behaving as all the rivets don't line up. Especially the A and B rib. I want it cleacoed before rivets. Lyndon
-
Ta. The fuse is a bit of work. Alignment of rivets seems to be a job and a half. In a day or two hopefully it will be done. Lyndon
-
Front lower hatch fixing support question. What am I missing. How does this work. Is it bent over to catch the lip. A rod installed to make a hinge. Nothing in my manual except rivet it the hatch ??? Lyndon
-
Nope it's almost done 2000.
