* When to dimple the holes marked in red? Answer: Page 32-5, step 3: Dimple all skins common to the F-1006 A, B & D bulkheads. In this case, it is the F-1006A bulkhead.
* Countersinking the side skins: The three holes on the left side skin located rear of the baggage door top (and same three on the right side) need to be flush plus 7 clicks to accommodate a dimpled skin on top of them (you just removed the top skin F-1074 which covered them), however the horizontal line of holes above the baggage door and the corresponding ones on the right side, also the six holes on the bottom right of the baggage door, need to be countersunk just flush since nothing goes on top of them.

* Throughout the build, a "pallet stacker" / manual forklift comes in handy. Shown here to raise the tailcone to be level with the fuselage. They ran around $1,000 new on ebay in 2020 but keep their value and allow you to unload the kits from the truck which makes the delivery non-residential thus saving money each time. They can also act as an engine hoist as you can lift the fork 6 feet and hang the engine from a fork. When not in use, they make an adjustable work bench.
