I'm just getting back to building after a long child-induced break.
I bought my tail and wing kits from a guy here that had started on the tail. I just noticed an issue with the rear horizontal stabilizer spar...
Horizontal stabilizer, rear spar web and doubler. There are two 'lone' rivet holes (in the middle of the spar web) that are located between the HS-911 Inboard Hinge Brackets and the Inboard HS-904 Ribs (one hole each side, L & R). This hole is supposed to be countersunk on the forward side of the doubler for a flush rivet. The guy I bought the kit from countersunk both the front side of the doubler and the rear of the spar - on both L&R sides. One side is already riveted but I can tell the shop head is sitting over (not in) a countersink.
Show stopper?
