Hi all - I've done a bit of work on the airfoil kit from Van's, and am looking to do some riveting as I look around for a tail kit.
I'm planning on grabbing some scrap sheet stock from a local supplier to do some practice riveting (and dimpling, drilling, assembly, ect...) after work; I'm currently working alongside an A+P at a small aerospace company (though it's all carbon fiber here) who's going to help me out.
What should I be picking up for sheet stock? I was thinking .016 and .020 2024-T3. Anything else I should be considering?
Thanks,
Scott
