A friend of mine is the IA for a University Aviation program. The U became the owners of an abandon RV6A project. He said the tail group is done and the workmanship is excellent. The wings are done and the workmanship is also excellent. He told me the wings skins were attached with Cherry Max flush pop rivets.
The University is going to sell the project because of liability concerns dealing with an Experimental aircraft. This decision was made before the airframe was received and has nothing to do with the use of the Cherry Max rivets.
I told him I would post this to the group and see if anyone has used Cherry Max for construction of any part of an RV. He will be calling Van's tomorrow to see if they have any engineering concerns.
Thanks in advance.
