Thanks for all the replies...
As requested, here are some new pictures of the damage... I tried my best, but I think they are good enough so that you can see that the affected area had the rivet location pops out a little and then beside the dent from the back rivet plate...
So the best that can be achieved with filler is hide the dent but the rivet location siting higher will stay...
Please give me your advice on this situation..? Structurally safe or not?
I already got the confirmation from Van's that a new skin do fit in my fuselage crate that is leaving soon... It will probably be my choice right now because I might not build a perfect plane, but at least, I'll try to get as close as possible...
Question is, I will drill out all the rivets than go on the spar, so that I can re-use my spar, but...
Are the holes on the pre-punched Elevator skin consistent enough so that I only need to replace the stringers that are riveted on the skin and use the bottom ones that I have not riveted yet for the new skin?
Thanks!
