I'm finding it very difficult to master hand peening the rivets the way that the manual suggests. I'm about ready to give up and use bolts, but I don't think there is enough clearance in the stub wing area for bolts/nuts. A gentleman I work with is building another type of plane which uses structural pop rivets almost exclusively. So, he suggested that I might think about using structural pop rivets intend. My question is: Does this sound reasonable? Are there any problems with structural pop rivets being used in this instance? I personally think that it is a great idea.
