I am dry fitting the bottom of the fuselage, trying to figure out the challenges first. So I have this question on what I should do here.
So basically this is the bottom of the fuselage. The whole frame is upside down. Engine (unmounted now) will be on the right hand side, and tail is toward the left hand side. The muffler is hang at the bottom of the fuselage with 4 bolts. The arrow points to one of the bolts. There is an aluminum standoff, and a rubber cushion, with a bolt going through the middle.
The aluminum standoffs stand higher than the bottom plane of the fuselage, as shown in the picture below. So my question is whether I should lay fabric (a) like the yellow line below and cut a hole around the standoff, or (b) like the green line between the aluminum and rubber and only need to punch a small hole for the bolt?
