The original design was a glued wing, I have plans for an all metal wing and want to use a 3214 CherryMAx rivet to attach all the skins. The fuselage is already designed to be built using such rivets so I am trying to see if using them to attach wing skins is acceptable as well. I will look up the FAA circular as advised in the posts.
Here is why I am confused. This technical data was pulled from the FAA circular AC43.13-1B and CherryMAx technical data sheets. It clearly shows the CherryMAx is much stronger.
