Hi,
After reading many posts of "just order new parts and use it as a learning experience" I'm going to do just that! I managed to drop my back riveting plate on the rudder skin as it was laying on the workbench ready to be back riveted. It put a nice gouge in the skin and it needs to be replaced.
My question: I've already got the stiffeners cut, dimpled, and primed. Can I re-use these stiffeners with a new rudder skin? Will match drilling the new skin with the already match drilled (and dimpled) stiffeners be an issue?
Side note: Christmas will be here in 8 weeks. I ordered my wings!!![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thanks!
