Wing tip
Hi,
As usual, when I have two options I can't decide wich one is the best to me. I am hesitating between riveting the wing tips to the wing, or install K1000-06 to screw it. could somebody help me to make my choice?
Thanks

Screw it
I think that you will be glad that you used screws if you ever need to get in there to change light bulbs/strobes or whatever else you need get in there for. Besides I think they look good compared to rivets.

3rd option
Or you can have the look of rivets and the ease of removal by using piano hinges.
I have installed mine with hinges. Easy removal, looks cleaner, IMHO.

Opinions
Ask, and ye shall receive----everyone has their own opinion. Best advice I ever got during my build---build what YOU, that means YOU, want to see when YOU open the hangar door!!!!!

That's right, but I like when people share there experience, then the final choice seems easier.....

Odds are way above average that you will need to remove the wingtips down the road ... and probably more than once

What humptybump said. We have taken our tips off and on more than I can count. But we have avionics stuff in them both plus the landing and nav lights. We are always changing something in there.

What Piano hinge are people using for this, the rolled or the extruded?
