Vixen Flaperon Update and Another Flaperon Question

[Maverick]

No more often than you'll need them, ask around to see if you could borrow squeezers. Anyone building an aluminum plane would likely help you out. Or ask your EAA chapter members.

Thanks everyone and thanks for the pictures CoClimber. Thanks also for your patience as I'm new to all of this (never had to rivet any of the RC airplanes I built!). Two more questions:

- Setting an AN470 rivet with Knipex pliers - any special technique? Just squeeze it until the shop head is the correct height / width?

- Streamlined wing struts: I've been considering these but they are expensive. KF sells a streamlining kit but they caution that struts streamlined with the kit are prone to damage b/c it's a common push point. Are the streamlined struts worth the $$$?

Really appreciate the help everyone!
