I'm currently working on the Practice Kit and should be ordering the empennage in the next week or so. I ran into a small problem today riveting the ends of the practice kit project (the reinforcement/spar/rib combination).
Basically, when the shop head of the rivet is being formed the rib flange wants to lift up off the spar leaving a gap once the rivet is set. I played around with a number of different ideas to prevent this but I'm not sure if its possible.
Is there some way to prevent this gap from forming?
