When I built my vert stab, I believe the plans said to leave the two lower outside rivets of the lowest hinge bracket until assembly. I'm now mounting the v.stab to the fuse and wondering if these rivets are supposed to go through the 712 bulkhead as well.
On DWG 27A, it says to use 4-7 rivets, "flush on fwd side all vertical stab rear spar to spar doubler to hinge bracket rivets", with a revision marking (R2). The note for R2 says...
R2: "fwd side all vertical stab..." was " fwd side all blkhd to vertical stab".
So it looks like it used to be intended for these rivets to go through the bulkhead, but now they don't. Is this correct? So the only thing that goes through the rear spar to the bulkhead is the 2 bolts through the up elevator stop, plus the 4 bolts through the tie-down?
