I picked up my second QB kit from Van's, the second one is another story. But after I removed and inventoried the other parts I was looking over the fuselage and the rib that runs down the side of the fuselage down to the wing spar has a buckle in it, this is the same on both sides of the fuselage. I know it did not happen in the move since I moved it my self, and the parts packed into the fuselage did not seem to be hitting the rigs. I see from the plans that a cap (F804N I think) gets riveted onto these ribs.
My question is has anyone else see this or is this damage, and if damaged will this straighten out when the cap gets riveted into place? My worry is since it is on both sides that the rib was compressed because the holes did not line up properly. I do plan to call Van's on Monday but thought I would ask here.
The link takes you to my log page with a photo of the area in question.
