I'm new to aircraft building and unfamiliar with what type of rivets and rivet tool to use. AN470 are called for the Fuselage and I have located those other than I don't know what size I need. The tail surface gussets are pop riveted, I have don't know what kind to use. I'm certain you wouldn't use standard rivet tool from the home depot. Can anyone point me in the right direction please. Tail surfaces are constructed of round 1"x .58 6061 with .025 6002-T6 for gussets and the fuselage is constructed of 6061 1/8 angle.
