Today I finished the nutplates and other holes on the rear part. I thought intalling some of the nuplates would be interesting and it was. There is no access for dimpling, so I had to countersink the skins. One hole proved impossible to rivet, so I used a pop rivet (see bottom left).
For the gap fairings, the holes have to be countersunk and the tapped. As this is aluminium, I will be careful not to apply to much torque on the screws, and use Loctite.



Here is the right fairing gap, the seal has still to be installed
Then I put all the empennage parts back into storage.
