Greetings all,
In my -8 build, I have reached the point of working the leading edges and the tanks. The leading edges are done to the cleco point and its time to get to work on the tanks. My issue is this: I dont know what Im doing to get the ribs to seat nicely in their positions. The leading edges took a bit of finagling to cleco in. I just know that if I have to do that with the tanks, Im going to get leaks. So, what are your tips, suggestions, rules of thumb, whatevers on how to get the tank ribs to lay flat with out oil canning, and thus, I hope, seat into the skins easily?
Thanks yall.
