Each new section seems to introduce a structure I am unfamiliar with, so I will ask this basic question:
When assembling the flap should I expect a bit of "preload" or force needed in order to make the top part of the nose skin line up with the nose ribs (and top of the spar) and cleco the assembly together? The rest of the structure seems to come together pretty well however once you slide the nose skin on from the bottom, you then need to push quite a bit in order to get the holes lined up with the top portion. It also seems like there is a little bit of a gap between the skin and the rib below as you need to drill holes into the rib using the skin as a guide.
Hopefully that was clear. Anyone else have this issue?
I am also a bit paranoid about twist, and how to identify it and prevent it as I assemble.
Thanks
