F-1073 side skin question

[60av8tor]

This pic is the aft end of the left F-1073 side skin. Does the small triangle tab stay? The plans talk about removing the large triangle tab on the front of F-1073R, but makes no mention of these small tabs on the aft end of both skins. Some pics in the plans show it, some do not..?

Doesn't Mean this is right..

those two tabs are still there on my skins. I looked through the plans and also did not see anything about them, other than appearing in some pictures and not in others. I'm not sure it matters, unless it provides space later for a fairing...I'll have to read ahead and see.

Unless something drastic has changed, there isn't any need for those. That rivet line is actually against the vertical stabilizer spar. Not sure why some have it and some don't. Perhaps a tooling piece that isn't always removed. It gets covered so you'll never see it so really no need to remove it.
