as domed rivets. That is true however, dimpled flush rivets (where they can
be used) are as strong or stronger than domed rivets.

Subject: [rebel-builders] RE: Signs of life and cabin roof
Hi Mike,
Here are a couple notes and pictures of my cabin roof work in case
anything
here might be helpful. Note the liberal tape usage to hold things down
before drilling holes.
http://mae.ucdavis.edu/ransom/Murphy/20 ... 2/0802.htm
I'm not sure I even read other advice about holding off putting in the
rear
wing attach brackets, but I wasn't brave enough to do it before wing
rigging
(which I've still not done). I did however, stack up the brackets,
sandwhiched them between the two bulkheads and made careful placement
measurements so that I could cut the slots for them to stick out of
Fus-27.
This allowed me to finish off the rear "float fix doubler bulletin" in
that area,
and basically, it's all ready for final bracket hole drilling when I
eventually get
to wing rigging.
Cheers,
-Ben, 496R

leavingHi all,
Hoping to promote some discussion which might help enliven things on
the site and help some builders........... like me.
I have the cabin roof in place, drilled and cleco'd to the top carry
through FUS 3 only. I need to do some aligning of bulkhead and root rib
flanges to make a nice job of it. Possibly joggling the bulkhead flanges
at
the root rib will help.
I'm sure I'll sort it out but has anyone any advise that might
assist?
I'd be grateful. Any comments on the cabin roof generally would also be
gratefully received.
A bit further on is fitting the rear wing attach brackets,
sandwiched
between two bulkheads. There has been discussion in the past abouthavethe positioning of the brackets until the wing is being fitted so the
angle
of incidence can be set correctly. This makes sense to me. Does anyonea comment on this?
Cheers and thanks, keep up the good work Mike
