Step 6 does not mention riveting the F-01406b to the bottom skin. I checked the error spreadsheet, searched, and read ahead in the manual and cannot find when this is completed. Im assuming now would be the time, but dont want to mess something up late?
 
Those rivets are done on page 30-08 step 3, when you are joining the aft fuselage to the forward fuselage. Definitely do not rivet them now.
 
No problem. I've had to undo some very tedious nuts and bolts and occasionally drill out a rivet because I misinterpreted the plans. There's nothing like putting on a skin and seeing a rivet head through a prepunched hole, scratching your head for a while, and then realizing that you jumped the gun sometime last summer.
