Alright, my first oops on the wing spar...
I drilled all the C/S for the tank attach nutplates. Then I riveted 31 of them (half). I went down the line and C/S the #8 screw hole... that went fine.
Now the next step is "prime all the C/S holes".... OK... Did I need to prime the C/S of the nutplate rivets?
I realise now that I should have. After all, since I started construction, I was always priming AFTER drilling and C/S..
Option 1 : leave the first 31 nutplate as is... but prime the C/S for the remainers.
Option 2 : drill the 31 nutplate. I'm quite good at drilling C/S rivet, I don't expect any problems. If I oversize a hole, I'll just install a NAS1097AD4 rivet since the rivet is not really structural, it's there to hold the nutplate.
What do you think.
