I'm trying to figure out whether I'm supposed to countersink or dimple the anodized center section flanges where they attach to the bottom skin.
I know I was supposed to countersink the bottom skin in 4 places where the floor stiffeners will eventually go (so that the stiffeners will lay flat on the bulkhead flange), but am not sure about the rest. Since the plans specify countersinking the skin only in those four places, does that imply the rest of the bulkhead gets dimpled? While the bulkhead flange only appears to be .040, it's also anodized and I'm worried about any potential distortion.
Thanks for any clarification.
