I'm starting a build for my L2 certification flight with a LOC Bruiser (PK-88). I'd like to make it possible to disassemble for transport and am looking at either plastic rivets or aluminum screws to attach the forward airframe tube to the coupler. I'm leaning to 4 plastic rivets like Apogee sells (https://www.apogeerockets.com/Build...s?zenid=1bd4622d7f6a1bd0fb5812c7601f6734) due to the cardboard tube construction, but wondering if I should go ahead and design it for the 6-32 aluminum fasteners instead (https://www.apogeerockets.com/Build...s-3-pk?zenid=1bd4622d7f6a1bd0fb5812c7601f6734).
I'm realizing the forward airframe doesn't take a lot of load, but don't want to shear through the coupler with the metal screws.
