A few questions for the group.
(a) Is the green style in the picture below overkill when making an antenna doubler?
(b) Is the red style inadequate becuase it's not tied into the rib on the right and therefore there's added stress on the skin between the end of the doubler and the flange of the rib?
(c) Or will either be just fine?
(d) Or should the green doubler with the flange be on the bottom and the flat doubler extend over the right rib's flange?
The grey are rivets and I didn't depict the antenna base or the screws, which will go to nutplates on the doubler.
BTW, I wish the directions would have you put these doublers in when building the lower fuselage with lots of easy access...not many sections later.
Thanks for your expertise!
