Happy 4th all,
Hoping for some advice. How did you tackle the transition where the conical bend from the forward side skin matches with the aft side skin. These two skins don't transition smoothly and there is a wedge-shaped gap between them.
The build manual is lacking in detail. I've scoured builder threads and haven't really seen how to handle this. I know just driving rivets will cause pretty large dimples. I could fabricate wedge-shaped shims to take up the space... Any tips?
Here's a view looking aft.
This view is more from the centerline.
