The airplane is designed for assembly with solid, bucked rivets. If you use anything else you are completely on your own, engineering-wise. There are many types and styles of pulled rivets and direct substitution in all circumstances is not possible. You should check with the airplane designer, Richard VanGruensven, for his recommendation. I'll give you long odds that he will tell you not to do it. I assume you are concerned with the degree of difficulty involved in setting solid rivets. Don't be, it is easy to learn and very satisfying work. The actual riveting process is a minor part of the time involved in building a kit airplane, and especially minor for a plans built. Most of us savor the actual riveting because it comes at the end of a rather longish process of fitting parts together, drilling, deburring, prepping, priming, and then riveting. Riveting is the fun part. So you won't save much time using pop rivets in my estimation, and you won't get to savor the beautiful rows of perfectly set rivets that you soon will have the skills to produce. And if you persist in building a one of a kind pop riveted RV, I predict that it will have near zero resale value, even if you are able to get it past an airworthiness inspector. Short answer: don't do it.
