Rivets
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 5:56 pm
Hi There
I had a look at that article a while ago as well and was impressed by
Zenair's quality control. Michael, if I were you, I would go ahead and buy
the aircraft as it is a fantastic airplane. But simply order the kit
without the rivets, obtaining a suitable discount, & then buy the rivets
from Zenair or discuss your rivet purchase with your local Textron Avdel
salesgroup. We have one close by here in Brampton & I found them very
helpful. It was great to actually see information about a product we use so
much of i.e. the 1/8" rivet RV 1410's.
My thoughts any way. You will love the Rebel.

Hi:
As I am a person who so far has not purchased a Murphy Rebel or Elite kit,
I am truly amazed of the level of support that is exchanged here. My goal in
a kit is to build an amphibious, Subaru (EJ-22) powered plane. I think one
of
these planes would do a superb job. My decision is getting easier by the
day.
One of the selling points is the companies stance of using the Avex blind
rivit to ease the construction. I agree..........when they work like they
should. That doesn't seem to be the case at the moment, and I plan to hold
off on a purchase until this is resolved. I too would not be a "Happy
Camper"
if my new kit were supplied with fasteners that did not perform as
advertised.
I have just read a very interesting article written by Chris Heintz. Some
of you have probably already read this. It has some very good information on
blind rivits. The link is:

Oh, yes......one question........please...... Lets see.........20,000
fasteners for the airframe. And how many for the 1800 amphibs? Thanks in
advance.
