I'm so glad I'm looking in other people's build threads before I get started. I read through the builders tips section and didn't find gold like this (it's good, don't get me wrong and a great resource)

I bought a project that has been rolled back a ways. In going through the parts I found some small plywood shims that I later recognized as being the size of the fuselage tabs. Later still I found evidence of them being de-bonded from the bottom side of the floor boards. The shims are of varying thickness and I wasn't looking forward to figuring out where each one must have come from.

The last several posts clear up everything about what the previous builder did and what different paths others have taken. Tinnerman nuts are a forehead slapping obvious choice. In my life I have seen too many rivnuts spin to trust them, so they are my absolute last choice.

Carry on!
