I was admiring my work looking into the HS from the end and it occured to me that if I were a bird, it might seem like a nice, sheltered spot to nest on a rainy spring day. Some species are attracted to shiny objects and I am not priming.
I'm building an outdoor airplane, so I want to minimize opportunities for critters to creep in. Is there a proven mod to cover the lightening holes in the end ribs with some sort of removable cover? Or maybe they make small, round, inspection hole covers this size? Or, maybe the lightest thing is some ceconite and a bit of cement and silver dope, which would still be somewhat removable. More I think of it the more I like the fabric idea; no chance of jamming the elevator, especially if I do it from the inside of the rib before assembly...
