Hi,
Thank you very much for the tips and help... and the very good informations about how to make an airplane wing, it will be very useful if my next build is a DIY plane :-D !

So, I managed to fit my ally floor. 4mm aluminium rivets, 1 every 45mm, with a blob of sikaflex on each of them. Sikaflex on all the rails, including the 2 seat transversal rails.

It may have cost me a bit of money, but I'm very glad I bought a rivet air-gun and also (as I'm a very very lazy guy) and air sikaflex pump! Both of them worked a treat, and automatic tools were very welcome after I drilled all these holes ! A shame this air gun does not work with rivnuts!

Tomorrow, I am going to put the chassis the right way around, and start to reassemble everything, starting with the engine and transmission.
