As I said before, when I got my tail kit the other day, it was about halfway completed. So this last week I've been going through the plans step by step and inspecting everything. Overall things are looking good, mainly just a few over countersunk holes will need to be taken care of.
So that's just an update, but my question is that in the plans it says to countersink the upper hole of the striker plate, and the aft side of the control horn at the same location as if you were going to double flush a rivet. But then you just put a pop rivet through the hole. It's not that big of a deal, but it's just bugging me to know why you need a "flush" or low profile tail there. This step is already completed, but I was just wondering.
