I am just getting started and have spent too much time this p.m. trying to find callouts for rivets in the elevators for starters. I did read all the info on grip lengths and alloys etc. in BM and scoured the forum. Is there anywhere in the plans sheets or BM where it specifically calls out which rivets to use?? I'm not reopening the lengthy discussions about flush or domed heads.
I am making an assumption that the skins use BSC-42 to attach to ribs when going flush and the hinges use CCP-42. Is that right? Where does it say so?
When I choose to use BSC rivets for example I question whether or not the aluminum rivet is strong enough. If the plans spelled that out I wouldn't be concerned.
Are we leaving this critical choice to the builder??
Thanks,
Kevin
