>question is. What rivets did you use to attach the rod ends to the 4130 >tube? So many rivets to choose from!
I used standard 1/8" steel rivets. Just did an annual and after 7 years of flying and 425 flight hours they show no signs of wear or loosening. You could use solid steel rivets as Ray mentioned. Personally, I think either one would be fine. Mark Jones (N886MJ) Stevens Point, WI E-mail: flykr2s at charter.net Web: www.flykr2s.com
