I'm not sure, but THINK I may have made a mistake by dimpling ALL the holes of the tail cone stringers. I also dimpled the end holes mating up to the bulkhead frame where the fuselage will be attached later. I do not have the fuselage plans yet to read ahead to see if this will cause a problem. I want to start riveting today (Saturday) and since Van's help desk is closed, thought I'd reach out to brain trust for advice before I rivet it in and create an even bigger issue.
Here's my questions:
1. Should this hole have been dimpled?
2. If no, what is suggested fix / work around?
Here's a pic of the stringer with dimple. Bulkhead frame goes on top of dimple and tail cone side skin is on other side. I believe this is where the fuse skin will eventually sit on top of tail cone skin.
