On Saturday, we built a small project requiring flush, universal, and blind rivets. We countersinked, deburred, and dimpled. In the afternoon, we paired up to begin assembling a small airfoil section which demonstrated many of the techniques required to build a Van's kit. The trailing edge was a bit tricky and had a few challenging spots to try to maneuver the bucking bar into. It was a fun hands-on course. One of these days, when I can secure the necessary space, I'll start my RV7...
I witnessed the conclusion of a gear-up landing after the lunch break on Sunday. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
