Hey Builders!
I'm getting ready to rivit my rear horizontal stab spar and i have noticed some builders have the "shop" end on the spar side and others have it on the spar reinforcement side. Does it matter? I've seen somewhere that this was answered as a rule of thumb but I can't remember where I saw it or what the rule was. It seems to me that the rivits should be set on the underlying structure and in this case, would be the reinforcement bars getting the shop end. What say ye?
