Rivet material for the tail?
« on: Today at 06:56:03 AM »
Since the plans don't seem to spec rivet material... Has anyone used aluminum, or is everyone using stainless pop rivets to assemble the tail? If stainless, do they do any damage to the round tubing when you pull them? Asking because a stainless pop is a *lot* tougher than that 6061 tube and I'm wondering if it tries to tear the hole when it contacts only two sides at first.
