Are Cherry "Q" rivets structural?
Aircraft Spruce catalog says they are,but the Cherry Catalog says they are not.
I compared the shear and tensile strengths of the MS and CC series Cherry Q rivets. The ratings actually exceed that of the Cherry Max rivet.
The Q rivets are a lot cheaper than the Max.
I want to use the Q to make some repairs on the elevator of my Storch,which is an experimental aircraft. I was thinking that perhaps the reason Cherry says it is not a structural rivet is that it is not "approved data" for structural repairs on certificated aircraft.
Thanks,
