Hello!

When I have the HS clecoed it is a clerly dent right over the HS707 noserib. It looks like the rib is too small!?
Have anyone got into this? Any ideas for a solution?
Can I just put som piece of aluminium between the flange and skin and use a longer rivet?

You will bump into this sort of thing at various places in the airframe. First determine if the problem can be solved by re-fitting or re-shaping the parts; it is often easier and nets better results. If not, use one or more shims as required.

You can shim out the gap with aluminum but the process can be tedious and labor intensive. Here is a time savings solution that is very easy to do and virtually guarantees success in removing the gap with minimal effort.

Ok, thanks. I think i?m too fear to come up with my own solutions. Maybe because I have no experience, yet. But I think my self-confidence getting better all the time. This is awsome! Comunity and all. Amazing!
