As usual, when I have two options I can't decide wich one is the best to me. I am hesitating between riveting the wing tips to the wing, or install K1000-06 to screw it. could somebody help me to make my choice?
I think that you will be glad that you used screws if you ever need to get in there to change light bulbs/strobes or whatever else you need get in there for. Besides I think they look good compared to rivets.
Ask, and ye shall receive----everyone has their own opinion. Best advice I ever got during my build---build what YOU, that means YOU, want to see when YOU open the hangar door!!!!!
What humptybump said. We have taken our tips off and on more than I can count. But we have avionics stuff in them both plus the landing and nav lights. We are always changing something in there.
Bye the way, humptybump, I Have juste read your thread about 150 cv for a RV8, that was very interesting, as I will buy soon a 150 or 160 cv , and beleive performance will be good..
Mine are screwed on and look good. A friend used piano hinges on his -7 and it looks amazing in comparison. I'd use hinges if I were making the choice.
What a beautiful job , I think I'll use your method . Any piano hinge works for it ? If you have some details about the way you did that job, I would appreciate...
Thanks to all of you sharing your knowledge!

We were going to rivet ours, but decided to use screws. It was some extra work, but after "final installing" the wing tips, and then immediately removing them two times after that, I was glad we used screws.
