 Posted: Wed May 24, 2006 6:00 am Post subject: Horizontal Stabilizer Riveting |
 |
|
When I cleco the horizontal stabilizer together with just the leading edge ribs and the plywood form blocks there is a lot of stress on the ribs to the point where the HS is somewhat distorted. Has anyone done anything additional before putting in the rivets on the leading edge ribs? I am concerned about the airfoil shape. I was thinking of pro-sealing the leading edge ribs in place with the the main spar clecoed in and then going back and riveting in the leading edge ribs after the pro-seal has dried and I can remove the main spar.

i held the skins together at the trailing edge with rubber tipped spring clamps a foot or two away from where i was rivetting. This kept them from bending wide open and kept the skin in close contact to the tip ribs, be careful to not crease the metal with hard clamps. I need to rivet the aft spar to place and my HS is done!
