Project: KMYARV12     -     Entry

Dec 20, 2020 3 Worked on multiple parts Category: Empennage
Stabilator Team: We riveted the gussets and worked on the hinge brackets. The gussets weren't lining perfectly and we had line it up rivet by rivet. We also installed the hinge stop hardware. Next time we will rivet the hinge brackets in. We had to use a torque wrench to install the hinge stop correctly, there was some difficulty in using it correctly.
Tailcone Team: We did a lot of riveting and we had some difficulty with riveting. When you rivet with a hydraulic pump there is bounce back and if not aligned securely, the rivet would be half out. We did hundreds of rivets and had to drill out 4. When we were putting in the ribs, we were having difficulty making sure the flanges of the rib would be flush with the skins. We had tiny metal burrs/chips around the reams. We did not notice and riveted, now those are stuck between the rims. We used a vaccum + pocket knife to get them out.
Parts Prep team: Worked on the servo tabs they are pretty much done.
