Hello-I have an RV-4 that my dad started many years ago and unfortunately he passed away in March. I am currently going through the project and assessing the status and learning about the various components. Most of the major structural parts are complete.
The biggest issue I’ve seen so far is that the left elevator skin had some heavy corrosion scale on the top surface, I removed the scale and polished it but it looks like it has eaten into the aluminum a bit.
My question is whether anyone has drilled out all of the rivets and replaced the entire skin.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
