What to do with the nutplates? skins dimpled, so I guess I need to machine countersink the base of them. Checked with LAA inspector who advised ' leave them, or countersink them, it doesnt matter. I countersunk them and it worked fine. Machine screws were a really tight fit, and I ended up buggering the heads up. New ones ordered from LAS Aero. Decided to pass a tap through the nut plates and they worked fine after that. Managed to snap one of the screws off inside the nut plate, but was able to drill it out and re tap the hole.
Marked out the placement of the trim servo as per plans, but I'll wait until the tab is installed before drilling and cutting anything.
edges of nut plates overhang the skin and need to be trimmed flush to allow the trim servo to fit
