I'm getting to the point in the -8 empennage kit where I'll be riveting the HS-609 reinforcement bars to the HS-603 rear spar, and I can't tell from the plans which side of the assembly the factory heads of the rivets should be on. Various online builders' logs show it done both ways.
Am I missing something in the plans, or is there a "standard practice" I should be following, as with e.g., threaded fasteners? I know I've seen the answer "it doesn't matter" in several other threads here, but I was just curious what the thought process is. Thanks.
