<p>Thanks, that's what I was thinking as well, but like Perry mentions below there have been convincing cases for climate control.</p>
<p>I don't think (or don't want to think) that most builders are that perfectly controlled and there are plenty of well built flying examples built in the 'wild'.</p>

<p>Thanks, I have been posting pictures of my progress on the homebuilt airplanes forum if you were curious,</p>

<p>I agree with Mark S. I think you would really have to be trying to make this a problem by somehow keeping one piece warm while the other is kept cold. That said, Mark Patey makes a convincing case for it in a video about his wife's 801. </p>

<p> Aluminum shrinks and expands somewhat with temperature fluctuations. If all the parts are the same temp you are OK.</p>
<p>If one part is a different temp then another part, then a problem happens - holes will not line up.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Bottom line, no worries if ALL parts are the same temp at time of riveting</p>

<p>I can’t give a good answer to your question, but I can give you my vote for a fortitude award...... those are some tough conditions..... to SCRATCH build in none the less. My hat is off to you.....</p>
