I didn't skip the trailing edge bend and I still had to make the riblets 3 times. Nice work

Also while placing my trim tab hinge so that the tab is level with the trailing edge it does not leave sufficient edge distance to drill holes on the hinge. Iv heard there is wider hinge material that can be used?

Thoughts?
