There are a lot of rivets in this project that need to be bucked! When I built my 8A I posed this same question to Van's and pose it to this forum. If you dimple all the rivet hole, why could you not use countersunk pulled rivets? Not the expensive cherry max ones but regular flush heads. Would they be as structurally sound as the 3.3-5?
Or like the 12 could you just use pulled rivets, how much parasitic drag would you generate to reduce you overall air speed?
Just thinking about it.
