inspectors might want a drain in every bay. However the bays can
all drain down the trailing edge to the inboard low bay anyway so I put
one floatplane type vent on the inboard bay to suck air out and one
plain vent (think it was a 3/16" id nylon washer) on the outboard bay to
let air in. The washer makes a nice reinforced spot to melt a hole with
a soldering iron as per the polyfiber manual. I believe this satisfied
the intent of the rules.

Hello Rebel Group:
Checked the archives for this subject with no joy, so I thought that
I would tap into the group for some ideas, suggestions and answers.
A fellow Rebel Builder and myself (with no previous fabric
experience) were discussing installing the Flaperon Drain Grommets,
and that if a grommet in every bay at the trailing edge, low point
was necessary. Is this a bit overkill? Can one just burn with a
soldering iron, a small 1/ 8 inch hole in each trailing edge end rib
(at the void) and call it good? Maybe adding single drain grommet at
the inboard bay at the low point of each flaperon? Both of these
Rebels will be going on floats eventually.
At this time we are leaning toward the small (1/8 inch) holes at the
trailing edge root rib and adding a single grommet at the low point
(inboard) at each flaperon, but still open for suggestions.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
Over-and-out . . .
