Anybody know the total number of rivets there are in an RV-6 slow build? I've always wanted to know the total number of holes that have to be drilled and riveted to build an RV-6.
A buddy of mine who built a slow-build RV-4 claimed around 16K for his but he was a bit predisposed to exaggeration so I'm thinking the 15K number is probably not too far off from reality.
Wow! So maybe my buddy who built the slow-build RV-4 wasn't exaggerating after all.
The builder of my RV-6 doesn't know the exact number either... he just refers to some vague reference to some sort of "metric tonnage" figure which I've been unable to exactly quantify
