    Why become a Subscribing Member?

    • In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.
    • We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction).
    • Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Seeing smizo's post about sending his fuselage for blast and paint got me thinking about all the stuff I need to get mine to that point. At what point do you guys generally install all the nutplates on the tabs? I have all my sheet metal skins just pilot drilled to the tabs with a #30. Is it best to drill them all up and install the nutplates before blast and paint or install them after?
