#27 Rivnut Blunders & Rudder Pedal Hardware Torque

Hello everyone & welcome back to the channel. I do apologize for the delay in output. With the Christmas season among us I’ve been unusually busy… doing Christmas things. I hope you will enjoy today’s video & it may help you along the way on your build. I have had this idea of using Rivnuts to attach my floorboard to the fuselage for some time. I’m not sure why but I did. In this video I play around with them to see if I can install one without the use of the special tool required. After two attempts I decided to call it quits & stick with what I have for now. Perhaps in the future I’ll use them somewhere, but for now I think it is not necessary as the screws I have installed seem to work just fine. I’ll move on to torquing the hardware securing the rudder pedals to the floor of the fuselage. I hope you enjoy. Cheers, Matt
