![]() Kyle Boatright wrote: How frequent are glue bond failures? Pretty frequent on Cheetahs of certain periods. Dunno 'bout Tigers. I know several Grumman owners and none has ever had a problem. I know three. Two have had to have the wings re-glued. IIRC, the mechanic doing the repair told me that there were only certain years that had problems. Why are rivets such an advantage? Since I own/owned a Maule and a C-150, I am aware of the various maintenance alerts, service bulletins, and ADs pertinent to those two aircraft, both of which have riveted structures. I never heard of a Cessna or Maule that required reskinning of the wings due to rivet failure in normal usage.
