Alex's Van's RV-10 Build
США
Добавлен 15 окт 2021
Welcome to my Van's RV-10 build vlog. My goal with this channel is first and foremost, to video document my Van's RV-10 airplane build journey that started in Spring 2022.
For the most part, the videos will be time-lapses (no sound) of the entire build process. For that reason, I don't recommend watching every video from start to finish.
I do, however, recommend checking out my build log at www.clearedtofly.com. There I document some of the challenges and learnings as I go through each section of the build plans, and link back to the relevant time-lapse video here if you want to see exactly how I tackled those.
Lets build on...

Looks like you have great help on your project
Yup, her help is much appreciated! Makes riveting the top skins on so much easier than trying to do it all myself.
Hope your project turns out well. You seem to be putting in the work to get the details right. Good luck
Thanks! Yeah, it's definitely a lot of work to drill, debur and rivet everything, but I'm enjoying it and I know I'll reach the end eventually...
This gives me flashbacks!!
Haha, I see what you mean Ed! I've watched several of your build videos and see the similarities. Hope you bring your website back up at some point as I recall getting a bunch of useful hints from there as well!
Also, when you made the holes in your stiffeners for the static port, did you chat with vans builder support, or was that the general recommendation?
If you're referring to the 1/8" holes I drilled for the static line attachment brackets along the top stiffener, I didn't talk to Van's builder support about doing that as I have seen other builder's do the same thing. I have, however, spoken to builder support for other stiffener questions I had, and they told me that stiffeners are solely there to support the skin and help prevent oil canning. The J-channel stiffeners have no impact on structural support (which is provided by the longerons, bulkheads, spars and ribs). There are also other cases where you might drill into the stiffeners, for example, to install avionics platforms and supports, so I am not worried about making a few additional holes.
Hi Alex, I’m at this point in the build, thanks for making this video! I noticed the red tip on your 470 river set and the tape(?) over the rivet? I’ve never seen that! Is that to prevent any marring or smiles? I struggle with (loathe) bucking 470s, they always have some marring on the manufactured head. Anyway, good stuff, thanks again!
Hi David, I too had a tough time bucking the 470 rivets initially with just the rivet set. Some time around the horizontal stabilizer build I discovered "Snap-Soc" rivet set caps that fit over the cupped rivet sets. I got mine from Brown Tool www.browntool.com/Listview/tabid/344/txtSearch/soc/ProductID/100/Default.aspx ,and they are great for preventing smilies around the edges of the 1/8" universal head rivets. They're not that cheap, but each one lasts about 40-50 rivets before the cap needs to be replaced. I also put a piece of duct tape over the manufactured head to prevent marring of the head itself, and now am very happy with how the set rivets are looking. Hope that helps!
Amazing, ordered a set and will give it a go tomorrow. Thanks again!
Hi Alex. I am really enjoying you step by step video since I am building the same airplane but I am not as far along. I am taking a slightly different approach - I am processing all the parts for the whole kit to the point of being ready to prime so I can setup to spray all parts at the same time. I have yet to drive my first rivet but I have been practicing with the practice kit. I have a question about countersinking. According to the manual, the countersink depth is 0.007" deeper than for a flush rivet but when I do this, the skin does not sit flat - I have to go to a depth of 0.017" to get it to sit flat. I just finished countersinking the longerons of the tail cone to 0.007" and now I'm wondering if I need to go back and make them deeper. Just wondering what you did? Thanks in advance for the help.
Hi @geedouglas, for countersinking to accept dimpled skins I have stuck with going just 7 clicks past flush on the countersink cage. You are correct that the skin may not sit completely flat prior to riveting, but I have found that setting the rivet pulls the parts together and ensures a tight fit. I would be hesitant to countersink deeper due to the risk of having a gap remain between the dimple and the countersunk hole after riveting, which would cause the rivet to loosen over time. I think that as long as you are confident that the skin dimples sit tight in the holes after riveting, you should be fine. Hope that helps!
good choice taking care of most of the deburring before the initial assembly. I'm a couple pages ahead of you and trudging through deburring and dimpling
