Fwd skin at engine mount
I had a similar fit at the location you are questioning. No big deal, as you are transitioning a fairly flat skin, to a multi angled area of the fuselage. The stringer connecting the engine mount to the fuselage curves slightly outboard,causing the "bridging" you see. I used some very small tapered shims to make the transition smoother, and the upper (removable) skin panel flares out very slightly over a 6-8" span. It all blends very well at the cowling,and you will see slight differences on every different-4 you look at. I dont have any digital pics I can send at this time, but send me a PM if you need more help here !
