I have decided to install Click Bond nut plates in all my fiberglass tips. When dimpled my skins on the rudder the inner rib interferes with the dimpling process and leaves a line.  Does anyone know if I can modify the process or the dimple die?

Hey Russell,



Whew, building issues!



I'm not sure about your exact application, but we ground a flat on the dimple die so that it would fit in tight places -- didn't change the dimple at all and fit much better in tight places.



Later, - Lew

Hey Russell



I'd like to use the click bonds as well.  Any idea how many you will use for 

all the tips???



With regards to the dimple dies, I ground off an edge on one dimple die set 

to use  for tight spots (made a big difference).  I bought a few extra sets 

when I initially bought my building tools (never can have enough tools).

This thread is interesting.  I'm leaning toward the hinge mount method. 

  I've dealt with screws in cowlings and tips before and never cared for 

them.  If you entertained the thought of using hinges and ruled them 

out, I'd be interested in knowing.

Avery makes a small diameter female die that works well for confined spaces. If you have a ridge at the rudder tip, I would just cover the rivet line with a layer of fiberglass and make it disappear.

I count 110 holes for Click Bond 06P nut plates



Linn



The Flight Shop sent me samples and these are very simple to install, drill the holes with

no.28, clean the glass, glue the nut plate, pull the nut plate through the hole with the rubber

install fixture.

Great, Thx Russell.  I'm assuming that total is for all the tip fairings, 

and not things like the wheel and wing-fuselage fairings?I had a good talk 

and demonstration with one of their people at Airventure last year.  Neat 

product.



Linn, I hadn't even thought of using a hinge.  Guess I'm so used to type 

certified aircraft I never considered it.  I will probably now wait until I 

have another look at OSH this year to decide (I'm only working on the HS at 

present).  Thx for making me think.  (actually kinda hurts)

I am also looking at using the click bond for the tips. the flight shop sells a kit just for the RV10 wingtips.

There is a red banner in the lower left of the page.  A bit expensive but cheaper than buying seperate.

I love the clic bond product. I used a lot of them on my wire runs along the fuselage, I like the kind that accepts the small zip ties. They are extraordinarily helpful on the wire runs - zero chafe and virtually weightless. You must scuff the site and clean it carefully. The stuff is expensive. I spent over $200 but worth every cent. If it is good enuf for Boeing and AirBus it is good enuf for me.
