Watching this
video is the next best thing to attending a hands-on builder's
metalworking workshop!
This video presentation was
designed for the first time builder of an RV aircraft kit. Learn by
watching - first: an explanation and demonstration of the tools needed --
then watch as the rudder is built before your eyes! This instructional video has
2 major sections: The first section contains an overview
and demonstration of the tools and techniques that are required
for building an RV aircraft. These specialized building techniques
center around riveting with solid rivets - essential for the RV
aircraft. Many specialized tools are required for this type of
construction and are discussed and demonstrated. Techniques that
are shown include: dimpling, countersinking, deburring, drilling, back
riveting and pop riveting. A full discussion of the types of rivets that
are used along with their important characteristics is included in this
first section of the video. The tools for measuring proper rivet
setting (rivet gauges) are shown and demonstrated. Some of the
tools that are featured include: hand squeezer, pneumatic rivet gun,
flush and universal rivet sets, dimple dies, back rivet sets, scotch-brite
polishing wheel and deburring tools. This first section of the video is
the important background into proper building methods that are universal
for building an RV type aircraft.
The second section of the
video uses all of the techniques covered in the first section to
actually build the rudder for an RV7. The rudder is typically
among the very first components to be built when starting an RV aircraft
project. The challenges, skills and techniques needed to build a
rudder are same ones required to complete the rest of the plane. The
assembly manual supplied with the rudder is used to build the rudder by
the instructor in front of your eyes. It provides a realistic view
into just what it takes to complete an RV kit plane. It is an
excellent way to see what tools are needed and how to use them in a
practical environment. This second section of the video ends with
a completed rudder.
What a great way to find out
if an RV project is something you would like to get involved with!
