Hi guys



Haven't been around much in a while  Big life changes,  got divorced, but got to keep the plane. Got a new job. and finally I'm back on the build mode treadmill.

I was re -organizing my upgrade parts box and ticking work done off the list, but I'm kinda stumped.  When I got my spar upgrade kit, I got a big bag of A6 rivets. I cannot for the life of me figure out where they are used.  I've been over the upgrade plans 12 ways to Sunday and i still don't see where they go.



Maybe I ordered them in case i screwed up holes when drilling out A5's but if I'm just spacing out and not seeing where they are used, I'd appreciate a little help



Thanks

Hi Larry,



You got me!  I've never even heard of an A6 rivet and I have completed 

both the basic XL kit and the upgrade.



You will need a bunch of A5 rivets for the wing skins after removing 

them for the upgrade.  You also have to figure out how to rebuild the 

main wing spars - with bolts or hard rivets.



Good luck,



Paul

The only A6s I remember on mine were the stainless ones in the rudder pedals. I have a very early XL kit.

Are we talking about Avex pulled rivets or solid driven rivets?

  

   

 My kit, started in 2006, had AS5 Avex rivets  --  stainless steel, but still A5 size.  I have a bunch of A6 clecoes, but those were only used for 3/16" holes for AN6 bolts.

These are the Avex pulled rivets



I'm doing my wing spars with mostly driven rivets, I'm using bolts in the few places where its hard to get a bucking bar. like under the rib flanges
