Assembly Begins On The Anti-Servo Tabs

After finishing up with the rudder, decided to move on and begin the assembly of the anti-servo tabs by using Clecos to attach the ribs of the left and right anti-servo tabs into place for riveting.

Installing Clecos to hold the ribs onto the upper skins of the left and right anti-servo tabs in preparation for riveting.

About John's RV-12 Blog

Purpose of this Blog is to document the assembly of a Van’s RV-12 Light Sport airplane from a kit using flush rivets. I’ve elected to build the RV-12 an E-AB (experimental amateur built) aircraft so flush rivets can be utilized during construction and modifications typically incorporated after building can be incorporated into the build.

The RV-12 is typically built as an Experimental Light-Sport Aircraft (E-LSA) assembled by the builder from six parts kits plus a fastener kit containing all the rivets for the entire airframe. Together the kits contain all the necessary components to build a complete flyable airplane ... airframe, engine and avionics.
