To rv-4 builders please,
I am fitting the fuel tanks on my rv-4 wings. As I can see the plans call for #8 screws until about 12 inches from inboard behind the spar. Farther than this, the thickness of spar caps prevents putting nutplates. What will be holding the skin in this area? It is a kit I bought last year ... and the skin isn't fitting very well under. There is a rather large, constant gap there between wing and fuel tank skin (around 3/32)... not sure what to do with it by now... any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
McGraff
