<Guys, while we're on the subject, does anyone have any data on the weight

      penalty, if any, of gluing as apposed to riveting? There's the obvious

      advantage of less probability of cracking, but for some (those in warmer

      climes) that's less of a concern.>



I used just under 2 tubes of Sikaflex 295UV to do the frame/canopy as well as all the canopy skirts...so my guess is would be just under 2 pounds weight penalty.  BTW, the reason they started doing this in Africa several years ago had more to do with heat than cold, but I suppose it's the daily temp spread that causes the most trouble.
