This probably helps visualize everything previously described the best. Here I am dimpling the last 2 holes on the most forward part of the end rib of the left stabilizer frame. The flange is placed over the top of the femaile dimple die clamped to the table, and the rivet gun containing the male dimple die is inserted into the hole of the rib flange from the top side. Just a few second burst from the gun is all that is needed and the dimple is created.
This site was created to provide friends and family with a vehicle to track my efforts to build a Van's RV 8 Aircraft kit. The dream began in the Summer of 2008. The actual building began in 2009, with the arrival of the empennage or tail kit. I will periodically update the site with photos and comments about my progress.
