Pop rivets tend to have heads which don't flush as nice as the rivets used
on the rv's. This gives you
skin friction drag and looks not as good as the flush rivets.
Plus: Pop rivets are not as strong..

Is there any reason other then "RV Pride" to stay away from pop
rivets? I,ve been reading how some people contort themselves and
building partners just to pound a rivet and thought to myself why not
just use a pop rivet? Aren't there planes built entirely with pop
rivets?
