I haven't know anyone personally this has happened to. Was a fairly small
group of the early ones related to the glue being used at that time.

If you prefer rivets .. then you should of course own a plane with rivets.
I've
owned both and haven't had any problem with either. Well .. wait .. I guess
I did have a small problem with my Tiger. I had the end of the piece on the
top of the wing that goes over the joint come loose. A rivet came loose.

The poster asked about Tigers .. and I guess Tiger owners would be a
good source of info. And since I've had a Cessna, and a Piper and a
Beech, I guess I can form an educated opinion. And my opinion is
they're all good. The Tiger is just the most fun.

However, not everyone is going to like the Tigers with their crisp
responsive
handling, speed and canopy. So they should buy C's and P's.

I can't think of any
bad habits it has.

How about delaminations between the wing/stab skins and the under
lying structure? The skin on these things is epoxied onto the ribs and
spars. What happens if you have to fix it? Gimmie rivets, anytime.
