Empennage June Updates June 26, 2004 Vertical Stabilizer. Riveted the right side of the VS. The first 3 rivets came out too thin on the shop head. I drilled out each rivet and tried lowering the pressure to 40lbs. This worked much better. I only had to drill out 1 more bad rivet. This website was built to document my work in compliance with the FAA requirements needed to certify my aircraft. My experiences and comments are by no means to be considered as instructions on how to build any aircraft.
