Does anyone know how many rivets?
Does anyone know just how many rivets are in a RV-7? I was going to keep track but gave up.

I counted all the way through my empennage kit, then opted for the quickbuild wings, and gave up on the tally. I'll look up the number for the empennage when I'm at my hangar. I'd be curious to know the total, as well...

Chad Jensen has been counting as he builds.
Check out this page from his web site.

That would be Chad! I'm sure he will show up here shortly. It sure is nice of him to count them for us isn't it?

If there are over 14,000 in a -7. I wonder how many in a -10?

actually.
Actually 12,000 rivets.
With a quick build you only have to drive about 7,000. The factory does the rest.
