All,
I am about to do my elevator trailing edges and have a quick question. I plan on using the angle iron method (I made a nice proseal mess doing it the Van's way for the rudder) and was wondering about the direction of the rivets. Did everyone set all of the rivets in the same direction so the shop head was on the bottom side or did you still alternate them? I would rather have the shop heads hidden on the bottom but not if there is going to be a problem with it hooking. Thanks.

I alternated mine on all of the trailing edges (Rudder, el, flaps & ailerons). All came out straight as a die. You can fill the void on the shop head if you are really concerned.
cheers,
Ron

I went same side all the way down using the angle iron method. Came out fine.
Choice is yours.

I alternated on the rudder for symmetry. I put the flush head on top
for the elevators for cosmetics. Either way will come out
just fine, but the flush heads will look nicer on the elevators for sure.

Mine are all pointed down, no angle iron method. Thinned the proseal with
some tuolene, used a bunch of weight, all looks good.

Thanks for the replies. Nothing like a unanimous vote!  But, since nobody has had any problems with the rivets all facing down I think I will go that route.
