i hope this is the wright place to post this question / concern. im building the empenage for RV7. i have arrived atthe step were you cleco on the skin for the horizontal Stabilizer. the next step is to temporarily install 00005 and 0006 mark them using the holes in the skin as a guide then flute as necessary etc. heres the part that has me concerned. at the intersection of 00005 and HS702 the skin has a prepunched hole that does not appear to line up with any surface to rivet to. basically the inboard portion of the HS702 flange has been cut away as per the detail in earlier steps. my fear is ive cut away to much, however it doesnt look as though i have when compared to the drawings and detail. the drawings also show the flange cut away in the same fashion. am i missing something? will this hole eventualy line up with something? hopefully ive explained this adequately
