Bob, You do not need to reduce the presure you run the squeezer at for smaller rivets. I would use 90-100 psi if your compressor will deliver that. You need to adjust the spacing of the dies to squeeze the proper amount for each rivet length. Tis is done either by adding washers to the set holder or...

I had no problem bending the tabs on the trim tab using the wedge that Van's calls for. I cut it to the exact size needed and used double stick tape to secure it in the tab so it wouldn't slip. It came out fine. The tab in the elevator was another story. After a couple of tries I gave up and cut the...

I put flop tubes in both tanks. I hate asymmetrical things so I do both sides the same. I figure it gives me the option of putting in inverted oil in the future, if I do much inverted flight. I figure it is easy to put in standard pickups in the future, but not flop tubes,l so I opted for flop tubes...

Wing Jig
John, When building your wing jig, you need to remember that you have to be able to adjust the angle of the support at one end in order to remove any twist in the wing. You will need to be able to do this independently for each wing so it will need to be done at the 2 post end in your configuration....

Proseal Tubes
I think the Semco guns are a good way to go, but there are a couple of things you need to consider. The tubes of sealant that Van's sells have a 1/2 hour work time as opposed to the 2 hour work time of the bulk sealant. This may not be enough time to complete the work. Also the 6 oz. tube only conta...

Riveting
When considering whether to remove an overdriven or too short rivet, you also need to consider what damage you might cause to the rivet hole. In many case you may be better off leaving a rivet that does not meet the specs rather than drill it out and risk messing up the hole. A new rivet in an overs...

Van's Rivet Lengths
iIn a number of locations, Van's purposely undersizes the rivet lengths, where the "correct" length falls in between 2 standard sizes. They do this because they feel that inexperienced riveters tend to bend the longer rivets, which they would then try to remove and redo. They feel that an underlengt...
