WOAH! Ease up turbo! Then it'll fall apart!
It's going to do that eventually anyway, so what'll actually happen is
that
it'll just fall apart _faster_.
Calculating the available glide distance becomes a kind of optimization
problem :-)
He'd have to refill them with some sort of Cement rivet that's flush
with the body... It'll still improve the glide ratio! :)
I reckon replace all the rivets with epoxy, and all the aluminium
with, oh, I don't know, fibreglass layups or something.
Actually, no. I don't really want to think about the prospect of a
fibreglass blanik.
