Building wing with all new Dakota Cub ribs. Metal spars. Attached root rib braces to spar with blunt end screws from Dakota as called for. Attached brace end to rib with stainless screws as used to attach leading edge. Someone was looking at them and said I should rivet them on at the rib. Didn’t seem necessary to me but I want to do it right. The frame of these Dakota ribs are solid aluminum, so I don’t see the screw coming out. Opinions please.
