I guess I should comment on this installation. On my (newer paint scheme) aircraft I drilled where you have here for the Tailwheel axle receiver and found there was no structure inside the fuselage there. And no good way to get any in. The factory had placed the balsa block for the tailwheel structure too far forward and it did not extend to the hinge line. I had to relocate everything as far forward as possible, to just behind the hatch, to have the post imbedded in balsa.
