Hey guys, I thought I would run this past you and see if I should go to Vans for a new skin or not. Thoughts?
Basically, where the lower wing skin meets the tank, just on the outside edge of the middle inspection hole the wingskin is cut about 1/16" to short. The rest of the wing skin is cut correctly, but in this 1 inch length, there will be a 1/16 inch gap between the tank and the skin. (only on the left wing)
Should I go to Vans with this? Most likely it will never be noticed since it is on the bottom skin, and once the skins are deburred I can probably reduce the 1/16th inch gap by not deburing where it is mis-cut.
But.... Any mistakes on my plane I want to be mine, not the manufactures. ;-)
Let me know your thoughts.. - thx
