Hi Guys:
I have a question that I hope doesn't start a firestorm. Another BH builder who will remain unknown made a remark that prompted this question. He said that in a conversation with another builder that flush stainless cherry pop rivets might be used on the wings. The only drawbacks would be weight and price, not to mention the use of something to fill the holes before painting. Now this is for skinning, not the spars. Spars should be riveted as per plans. If this is true, the time saved would be great.
Just asking, don't shoot me!
