I would like to know if anyone has done an rv9 with pull rivets and dimpled skins? I have permission from Vans by e-mail to use pull rivets along with dimpling skins. The type rivet is a MK319BS which has a higher shear and tensile strength also. This rivet can be used to attach all skins. There are no clearence problems also. The reason I pursued this is because there are alot of people who work alone and it just makes the building go easier.As far as looks go the RV 9 would still look like a million bucks. I would like to know if someone has already done this and what folks think of this process. Zenair and Sonex have done well with this process. I think this process should be offered by Vans at least for the RV9. Appreciate all of the comments and suggestions !
