Project: KMYARV12     -     Entry

Apr 05, 2021 3 Worked on multiple parts Category: Fuselage
Wings (Holden Glass): Did riveting on wing skins. With 4 people doing specific tasks, it was efficient.
Fuselage (Rebecca Colwell): Prepped parts and started some sub assemblies.
--> Harsh Patel: In 3 hours, I did 2 rivets. I tried doing a cherry rivet correctly at around 5:15 pm, and I messed up on the squeezing. In order to drill it out I needed a drill bit smaller than the hole size, to have some tolerance for drilling. Adam Rehberger found the size #43 at 6:20 pm in the wrong spot. An hour wasted trying to find something that wasn't in the right spot. Then 2 mentors and I worked at doing it correctly. We finished at 7:40 pm. We were very thorough and made sure we did it right. The cherry rivets weren't tightly riveted, so they just spun around when a drill was on it. The other side was so mangled, that a plier couldn't properly grasp it. It took a while.
Richard Glidden: Went to airport to match drill some holes on a part with the tail cone.
Mentors: We decided the defect on the wing skin is just cosmetic and we are . We are going to be talking to this guy who is on his 3rd rv12. He will come and help organize how to get all the parts together. Do not put cleco boxes or anything on top of the wing skins because when they have enough weight they can mar the surface.
