Well, I guess I can add my name to the list of folks that have been bitten by the forward ribs in the RV-10 VS being a little long resulting in a couple of minor "outies" in the VS skin.
Unfortunately I found out about the issue, after I had struggled a bit to cleco on the VS skin. I have trimmed ~1/8" or so off the nose of the ribs, which should make fitting the skin back on the frame much easier.
Anyway, looking for ideas as how to best take care of this.... the "outies" aren't bad enough to justify spending $100+ on a new skin. I was planning on trying to tap them out with a dead blow hammer. I figured worse case, I'll tap them into "innies" and just fill them with epoxy/microballoons at some point later in the build. Any better options?
Thanks,
Jason
