Hi,
Sooo I was working on riveting the left elevator spar to the skin... and everything was going kinda well up until I runned off my back riveting plate and indented a nice big dent on top of my elevator skin...
Now my question is... is this fixable or do I scrap it all and start from the beginning?
The way it looks is, I have a straight indentation where the riveting plate ended, and that rivet locations pops out of the skin...
I gotta say, I am working everyday on planes everyday and I've never encoutered something as frustrating as riveting these RV9 elevator skins without either denting them or crease magically appearing somewhere... I don't know how y'all can build them so easily...
This pre-bent design gets so frustrating to work with... :/
There must be something I am doing wrong somewhere with these!?
Thanks for your input...
