More on Rivets - There sure are a lot of them in an airplane!


Stainless Steel Pop Rivets
(Thatcher CX4 Construction Manual)

4500 CCP-42
500 CCP-44
100 CCP-46

That's what Dave Thatcher says you will need for the CX4 build.  Think I will invest in a pneumatic rivet pulling tool (about $70) or risk having a forearm the size of Popeye's at the end of this all.   



Oh, and there are a few pounds of AN470 rivets to pound into the spar build as mentioned in the last post.  More tools, more parts, more money.
