Hello all, I'm new to the forums, but I've been RV crazy since I was a kid! I have helped build several RV's, and now I am building my own -4. I was wondering if there is any info on riveted trailing edges, like on the newer RV's. I have already built my rudder and elevators with the double flush rivets. It adds about 1/2" to the chord line of the control surface. I just hope there are no problems in flight (slightly more surface area).
Hopefully this will prevent cracking skin on the stiffeners--it is light, very straight, and does not flex.
I have heard of this being done, so any info would be great!
Thanks, Bryan
