Instructions say to rivet trailing edge to ribs. Can be glued on in
addition to riveting.
All ribs get a rivet, right? Even the truss ribs? Any tips on how to
set these rivets?

Kevin,
We rivet and epoxy all the ribs. Some people don't and just use epoxy. Riveting the ribs is tricky. You have to countersink top and bottom of the material, use #3 flush rivets and carfully peen them with a hammer and bucking bar.
Sincerely,
Kevin Kimball, Vice President

Ha ha! A four year old email is brought back to
life!
Kevin, I am wondering, regarding the gluing and riveting
of the trailing edges, do you glue them and let the glued cure first then rivet
or rivet and glue at the same time.
It seems like it would be easier to rivet a dry hardened
structure, than a sticky slippery one.
Thanks,
Darin

We do it all on same time. Not too messy.
