After many months of putting it off, I bonded the trim tabs and elevator trailing edge with proseal (not too terrible of a job by the way).  Per the instructions Page 9-17 – 9-18 and Figure 2 on 9-19 it says to rivet the bent tab ends on the trim tabs with CS4-4.  Huh?  Did I miss something?  Instructions say to drill and dimple #40.  CS4-4 requires #30 hole and dimple.  

   

Please help.

Mike,

The last sentence in step 1 on page 9-17 has you drill those holes with a #30.  The gotcha (sort of) is step 6 where it tells you to dimple all the holes in the skin but not specifically the close-out tabs. And then you rivet, as you pointed out, in step 10 with the CS4-4s.

Mike,

  

 I just went through this myself.  I just drilled with the #30, and by bending the tabs out a little I was able to re-dimple with my squeezer.

Yep, add me to the list who failed to drill #30 and dimple those end tabs when it would have been easy.

Yeah, no worries Mike.  This is an easy fix.  The only reason I didn't miss this myself was pure dumb luck.  Before I hit that section someone else had asked the same question over on the VAF forum so I avoided missing the step simply because I was at the right place at the right time.  If you have not done so. I recommend taking a look at Tim Olson's site, www.myrv10.com.  He's got a tips and hints page compiled from a host of builders.
