Matt’s RV7 Build Log

The jig worked pretty well. If I were to do it over I wouldn’t insert clecoes in the countersunk holes. The countersink was basically right to the edge so the holes distorted a little when I took the cleocos out. I think its minor issue since this part will be sandwiched between the dimpled skin and the trim tab hinge.

Tasks Completed:  

• Countersank E606PP using jig.
• Continued to scotchbrite and dimple left elevator skeleton parts.
