I'm starting the fuselage and am working on the main bulkhead. I was working on those little rib things F-783 and F-782 that go on the fwd bulkhead.
I have them all done, but then looked at how the nutplate fit and realized that maybe dimpling wasn't right and should have been countersunk instead?
Arrgh!
I have a feeling this is just another one of my screw-ups even after reading and studying the drawings many times.
Can I rivet those nutplates on the way it is? Are they structural? Reverse dimple the holes and countersink? Or the dreaded and familiar "go on Van's site and order new parts"?
Thanks,
Tom
