I'm building a wing. Outta aruminum, as per Riveting 101. Just finishing
fitting the lower skins around the landing gear legs. Rivet holes are all
done; the thing is at the Bristle Stage although most of my bristles are PK's
instead of clecos because the former are about two cents each and clecos
aren't.


I KNOW the "bristle stage" you speak of... got two or three
coffee cans full of clecoes. But, what are "PK's"??


PK Screws, I expect...self-tapping screws. Also known as the "Middle
Income Cleco." The "Poor Man's Cleco" is the pop rivet....
