For those of us with the slo-build fuse. I've either found a gotcha or am 

now openly admitting my stupidity.  Look at page 26-1 for the parts I'm 

about to reference and this will be make sense.  I did not dimple the 3/32 

holes in the F-1015A outboard seat rib before I finished construction of 

this section.  The plans tell you to dimple the 3/32 holes in the F-1018 

outboard rear seat rib but make no mention ( here's the possible stupidity 

part) of the F-1015A unless I missed it.  Which means that, now that the 

side skins are ready for dimpling, I have to go back and dimple these bad 

boys while they are firmly riveted to the rest of the structure and the 

bottom skins.  Not impossible but a real PITA.  Also, you will notice 

nutplates on the bottom skin under the F-1015A.  These will have to come off 

for me to get to some of the holes in the F-1015 and to final rivet.  So 

here's my suggestion: dimple the 3/32 holes in the F-1015A L & R that 

correspond to rivets in the side skin before you do the final assembly in 

section 26 and hold off on the nutplates on the bottom skin shown on 26-7 

Fig. #1 untill side skins are riveted in place.  What's killing me is that I 

looked at this problem when I was in this section but moved on without 

addressing it.  And if you find the instruction to dimple the F-1015A 

somewhere in the plans please tell me where so I can have it tatooed on my 

butt!    John Hasbrouck # 40264 Wishing I was in OSH!!!

Thanks for the reminder, I'm sure you saved at least

one builder. This was discussed online about 6 months

ago and it was timely for me as someone's comments

saved me from making the same mistake. 



It sure would be nice if they issued plan revisions to

make a great set of plans even better....
