In the next couple months, a friend (tullypilot) and I will begin the spar mod on my RV-3, Type I wing.
I have all the fixins from Vans, and am looking for whatever advice anyone can offer before we start.
The RV-3 has wing fuel tanks (both need leaks fixed) which we plan to remove (both wings & tanks) to perform the mods. Interestingly, some mod was made years ago, but was not definitively entered in the logbook, so we'll be looking to see what might have been done as we begin. The logbook entry appears as though it may have been the first CN-I change, however we'll be working with the newer CN-301 TYPE I, making sure that all items from it are completed.
Lotta rivets to remove - advice on using, or not using, a rivet shaver?
My intentions are to make this aircraft as strong and safe as possible.
Thanks, in advance, for any helpful suggestions anyone may offer.
