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.
