Clip or rivet Dzus?
The self gift embargo has been lifted with the passing of Christmas so I am getting near ordering some bodywork for the RC. Any recommendations on rivet or clip on Dzus fasteners? If so why?

Clips here, I have a spare set of old bodywork so w/ the clips I can move them back and forth instead of getting another set of the female ends

Re: Clip or rivet Dzus?
I'm using rivets. I like that there's no chance that they'll move on ya. Plus it looks professional...

Kinda hard to look professional when there's a sheep riveted to your rear cowl.

Can't find any reference to elastic in the tech inspection manual. You may want to review your options. I think safety wire around the neck would be adequate . . .

Rivets.

They make Ti Dzus if you're feeling in the bling.

Re: Clip or rivet Dzus?
Depends on the location. If it's close enough to an edge to use the clip-on/slide-on type, then fine. Otherwise, the rivet style is your only option.
