I bought a "budget" gun off e-bay, and wouldn't recommend it. ATS has a nicely priced economy gun, No 2602A @$106, and that is what I'll probably buy later on for the next solid rivet phase. As far as suggestions, it's what you are comfortable doing. I couldn't comment on structural issues, as I'm not an engineer. CH has given you the option to go either way, so I'm sure he has done the math. -------- Craig Smith CH640 builder SN: 0078 "Just think how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half of them are even stupider!" --George Carlin Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 6775#206775 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:42:25 PM PST US Subject: Zenith640-List: Re: Riveting the stab From: "super58d" Thanks Craig, I have never driven rivets, so I guess I'll just have to practice. I am planning on heading up to the plant this week or next to pick up the rest of the tail kit. I am going to see if I can watch them drive some on an aircraft being worked on, maybe they'll even give me a short block of instruction on how to do it. Thanks for the insight and help.
