The plans show one hole on the left side of the fusealgae between the last two bulkheads in the tail. I have seen flying airplanes with one hole and sometimes a hole on both sides. Does anybody have a valid a to put one on both sides, or should I stick to just one?

I have them on both sides but made a big safety enhancement by making one side clear plexiglass. Important because I can now see the torque tube bolt to elevator during pre-flight.
Note: prior builder did not use the correct length bolt, and also used a nyloc nut.
Found that post full aerobatic flight!

Nyloc nut is perfectly acceptable here. The nut is torqued down on a rod-end bearing and not subject to rotation. If you replaced with a castellated nut, I hope that you torqued to the proper specification.
How did everyone make the 4in round cover plate? I cut it out on bandsaw and use a belt sander. It's close but not perfectly round, and it bothers me.
