I didn't find any help by searching VAF so I thought I'd ask...
My quick built fuselage has many rivets missing and temporarily held together with pop rivets. Most of the time it's obvious why they left out the rivets.
But this time I'm stumped and afraid I might be missing the obvious.
There are a line of rivets from the F-709 bulkhead all the way back to the F-711 bulkhead along the upper longeron that are missing.
I have no idea why these were left out. Ive already installed the F-712 aft bulk head with the -7 weldment in place and these missing rivet didn't seem to make it any easier.
I'm ready to mount the horizontal stabilizer and need to install these rivets before moving forward I assume.
So, should I start bucking away or is there something I'm missing?
Here's what I mean.
