RV-12 Left Wing Ready

Left wing done. It took me (and the rest of the family) about 12 hours to put the skins on one wing. Lots of rivets ;-)
Original soundtrack "Thunder" by ACDC was too much ;-) This track is automatic selected by YouTube.

Where was the fuel tank?

[Gagarin737]

@stevenesmond2 The fuel tank (20 USG) is in the fuselage The reason for that is that the wings are removable in just 5 minutes ; watch?v=AnWrXKfh_XM (prototype)

Who is that boy in the right, down corner at 0:38?

[Gagarin737]

@ThePlanespotter1 That's my son Bas (11 years/2009). He did most of the rivets in the wingpanels.

Does the RV-12 use all blind rivets?

[Gagarin737]

About 12000 blind rivets and a couple of hundred solid rivets, mostly AN426AD3 to fasten the nutplates and some AN426AD4 for the tailcone and flapbrackets (e.g. 34sec). All easy to squeeze with a handsqueezer.
