Hi everyone! I'm very eager and looking forward to joining homebuilt aviation crowd!:grin:
However before I can commence modeling in Solidworks there are some things I'm compelled to ask you.
1. What brand/name of solid rivets are RV airplanes primarily built with?
And as for the RV-12 I've read Vans turned to blind rivet construction.. what specific rivet are we talking about?
2. Would water getting into the small holes of blind rivets be an issue?
3. Sooo... I've chosen push/pull rod controls over cables. Where can I source those tubes and tie-rods?
4. Do you know any alternatives to those Spruce landing wheels? At some $800 per tire they sure are horrrrrendously overpriced..!
5. Anyone with hand on experience with DIY avionics? I'm looking into possibilities of using Raspberry pi or similar cheep controllers.
There! Just my humble thoughts and questions.
Thanks in advance for your replys!:ban:
