Hi Guys,
I'm busy bending and fluting the main wing ribs when I noticed there are bumps on the nose ribs on the top side. The bumps are to the outside.
The pictures don't do it justice but the bumps are high to the outside, especially at the rivet holes.
My questions are:
1) Is this normal or is this a manufacturing fault? It looks like the skin will not sit flush there and hence I will get a waive leading edge.
2) If it is normal, do I need to fix it and how?
Thanks in advance,
Rudi
