Greetings:



I have "older" drawings for the RV-8 Elevators.  They show NO required rivet spacing (the number of rivets to be used) for each Elevator Skin Stiffener.  Understand the newer Stiffeners come with pilot holes already prepunched in them from Vans.



Can someone give me the "number" of rivets used for EACH Stiffener:



E-720G       E-720A      E-720F



E-720H       E-720B



E-720J       E-720C



E-720K       E-720D



E-720L       E-720E



(Using a rivet spacing fan, I can then make the rivet spacing equal for each Stiffener.)



Thanks for your help,   Garey Wittich  Santa Monica, CA

Don't have the drawings in front of me, and I only have the

right-elevator in the house at the moment, but it goes 10 - 9 - 9 - 8 -

8 - 7 - 7 counting from the inboard to the outboard (not including the

tip rib, which was '7' but the last two at the forward end were much

closer together). [I have the new PP kit]

Garey,



My kit was purchased in 1997.  Elevator Skin Stiffner rivet spacing is as 

follows:



Right:  10, 9, 9, 8, 8, 7, 7



Left:     6, 6, 6, 6, 8, 8, 7, 7
