Page 09-08 : Stabilator Skinned!

Another good run with the pneumatic rivet puller. Blessed be VAN's for their choice of pulled rivets for the RV-12!
Stabilator clecoed & half skinned:


Stabilator fully skinned ... and 520 rivets (2 hours) later:




This is called a "Stabilator Assembly" because a few pieces are still missing (no anti-servo tabs).
The few clecos that are still visible correspond to holes that will be riveted later: caution if you are an artist riveter, mark these holes carefully lest you fill them unwittingly.

  1. That's a lot of rivets in 2 hours. You're getting good at this.
