Hello;
Is it normal to have twist in a flap prior to riveting the bottom skin to the spar?
I can weight the flap down and it will lie flat on the table. Will the twist disappear after riveting the bottom skin to the spar if the flap is kept flat against the table? Has anyone tried laying the flap on the table upside down, drilling and clecoing the trailing edge to the table. Weighting down the flap and then using blind rivets to attach the bottom skin to the spar? Would using blind rivets be acceptable for attaching the skin to the spar?
Thanks;
