Default 2006 Annual -- My 8th "Owner-Assisted" Inspection

Structural rivets on a Cherokee fin fairing? Is your wrench requiring
this? That fairing is not a structural part and it is subject to almost no
wind load. You don't even need cherry rivets. My wrench and 3 different
other local wrenches said that pop rivets are fine for that application.
Mine is still firmly attached 7 years later.


That's good to know! I'll mention it to my mechanic tomorrow. (I won't
tell Mary yet, though... :-)
