I think they should explicitly say that there are a lot more solid rivets in the RV-12 kit than they hint at. Certainly it is mostly pulled rivets, but there are still quite a few solid rivets. I too took the EAA weekend class with my wife and it was invaluable for someone who had never worked with aluminum and rivets before. I think that class is great for -12 builders even though there are a lot of pulled rivets in the 12. I think the toolbox is also valuable to take on as an exercise, even if you are building the -12.
