Hello,

There are 6 cherrymax rivets in the rivet kit for the installation of
the flap brace. (Bag 497-2)

May you could tell me, where those cherry-max should be used exactly? On
the plans I couldn’t find an advice…

Thank you very much for your help!

Best wishes,

Anna

Anna, I don't have the plans in front of me at present, but as I recall the 6 Cherrymax (3 per side) are at the inboard end of the flap brace. These rivets tie the brace to the spar. Good luck with your build.

Inboard end

Looks like there are 3 per side of the longer CR3212-4-6 going through the thick section of the rear spar doubler and reinforcing fork at the wing root (inboard end), and the MSP-42 are used for the rest. These are the stronger Cherrymax here because these rivets are being shared by the inner most wing ribs and spar doublers (high stress area).
