Question All, the plan says to leave holes on the vert.stab skin bottom rib area open for attachment of the fairing at a later stage.
Has anyone fitted the fairing yet and what secures the scews?
The reason I ask this is it looks like once the skin is rivetted in place and then anchor nuts need to be installed I would need to dimple thru two skins to install the anchor nut rivets.

Later you will add nutplates. No need to dimple because the fairing will be fiberglass not aluminum.

Marvin is it all fibreglass? The rear is al sheet by the look of it which is what has raised my concern.
