OK, I have decided to go the riblet route for the elevator skin. I just did not want to chance messing it up even though my bends on the trim tab itself went pretty well. I am trying to make the riblet out of the end of the E-703 rib. I can't get it any further into the trailing edge without distorting the skin.
I would like opinions on if the gap left will cause any issues, should I fill it in with a tab on the end of the rib or add some JB weld in there after the rib is riveted into place. See the attached photo with the rough fit. Thanks for any help, I am working this today so prompt replies are appreciated.
