100 Gallon Super Rebel Tank

Since the topic was going on - it made me think/remember one of those
"gotcha's" - If you are thinking of the 100 gallon layout -



1.) The underside of the wing at the juncture of the tank skin and the
wing skin there is a triple row of rivets the tie the two together.

2.) On the 5 bay (100 gallon layout) the triple rivet row coincides with
the strut access doubler near the spar.

3.) Do not rivet the last 5 (x3) or so unless you do it with countersunk
- even better - hold off on drilling the triple row near the spar until you
understand the interference with the strut access doubler which is
predrilled - so unless you use it as a template some of the holes are
"inconvenient" over the "triple row"
