If you or someone else can give me the tape part number, I'll give them a call and see if it is available.
When I was working on the Challenger biz jet, the specs called for Cherrylock and Cherrymax rivets to be used on some structural areas on the nose section: all latches for the avionics doors, (mainly due to inaccessability for a bucking bar), some skin to frame attachments, and some on the radome.
I found them to be good rivets and they made a good solid joint when the specs and tolerances were followed. The stem locking collar was the only sensitive area, and the specs I followed said to replace any rivets with any damage to the collar.
My single wish for a change in the Lazair would be to have a little more headroom!
At 6'3", it is an interesting slide into the seat. Maybe when I get the second plane set up with the higher from the ground wide track gear, I will be able to lay off my Chinese contortion teacher! Hee hee!

I totaly agree about making changes to the design. And if some one does make a change, they should have a darn good reason for doing it. I used cherrymax rivets on a Hummel CA-2 with good sucess, but I guess I was mostly curious what you guys thought about them. They have a small grip range so you have to be very careful. I used them strickly on gussets and structurally important areas and I used avex rivets on the skin. Avex rivets are relavently cheap, have a wide grip range, and pull real nice. It's hard to argue with that combination!

This site has 3M tape listed in their product line. Have you asked them if they can sell 3M (and not by the ton)?

Here is a place I picked a batch of rivets from.

But that's just me. Get a few Cherries and compare them side by side with the Avex rivets like I did and draw your own conclusions...but I'll bet you end up with Avex.
