Thanks for the replies.� Yes, I'm using the cogsdills and I readjust my #40 almost every time I get to a deburring step.� I think that as long as you don't "get used" to the tension and continually adjust it, you'll do fine.� I do, however, use it at a faster rate than I believe most do; I just try to keep the contact time down as I insert and remove the tool through the hole.  

After reading my original post I guess I wasn't general enough.� I was actually asking for tips for the rest of the tailcone build past the deburring stage.� I'll hopefully get my static air kit ordered from safeair tomorrow (Monday) if they're open.� Will I need more than the supplied connectors/tee fittings for my single AHRS GRT/480/backup airspeed/Trutrack DFC planned installation?

You will need lots of #40 clecos to complete the tailcone. Never counted how many but just look at some of the photos on the web of the tailcone clecoed together.  Here is one of mine <http://lrosen.nerv10.com/Construct/Log/Emp/Alexander/Day13/index.html>

Watch the rivet size recommendations.  I needed to use some fractional size rivets to connect F-1029 R&L to F-1037 B&C (used AN470AD4-4.5) and I used AN426AD3-4.5 to connect the side skin to the bottom of the rear bottom skin (page 10-21 and 10-25).  A list of most of the alternate rivet sizes is on my site here <http://lrosen.nerv10.com/rivetuse.htm>.

Follow the instructions on drill size when drilling the longerons.  They do eventually get drilled out to final size #40.

Larry,



Can you tell me about how many fractional rivets I will need?  I'm about to 

make and order.  Thanks!

When working on the empennage kit I found that for some of the 470 AD  

rivets specified were slightly too short and the next full size rivet 

was too long.  I put my empennage together at Alexander Technical Center 

(Builder Assistance).  They had some 470 AD 4-4.5 and 470 AD 4-5.5 

rivets that I used in these locations.  Vans does not stock these rivet 

sizes.  You can, however, either cut down rivets to make these or 

Genuine Aircraft Hardware Company <http://www.gen-aircraft-hardware.com> 

has them.  I would think that there are other aircraft hardware 

companies that would also stock them.

I have found that a rivet cutter and a few ounces of -10 lengths of AN426AD3 & 4 and AN470AD3 & 4 have been really handy.�� OOPs rivets that can be cut to size have also been useful on occasion.  

cheers,
