As I am working alone I have been contemplating using blind rivets for the bottom wing skins as I do not see how I can install all the solid rivets by myself.
According to van's cs4-4 rivets will work fine and have a greater shear strength that the 3/32 solid rivets (I have the 120 degree dimple set for the cs4's).
I have also been researching cherrymax rivets which are more expensive but are better looking when installed (van's says these are overkill structurally)

Any opinions or suggestions

Thanks
 
I did all the riveting on my RV4 wings by myself except for about 6 rivets. For these I had to get the girlfriend to reach in through the inspection panel to hold the bucking bar. It definitely can be done, but it's not real comfortable.
