I am so cornfused,
After drilling the wing root fairings to the wing root, the plans call for removing the wings (which I did) and then installing nutplates to the inside of the wing roots so that you can screw the fairings on. Not a problem for most of the wing root, but the leading edge section, where the fuel tanks are, presents a problem. The fuel tank root ribs do not match up with the edge of the skin. The holes for the wing root fairings pass just outside of the tank root ribs. There is also cured proseal slathered on the root ribs, leading to an uneven surface for the nutplates to nestle. OK campers, what have you others done to prevent caddy-wompus nutplate installations?
