Building some Rocket wings from a set of RV4 wings. Feel like I?ve been working backwards for months from fixing issues. Now a new one. The bottom skins (OB/IB) are overlapped backwards; thick IB over the thin OB. May have been intentional looking at how the joint was primed. Getting ready to close the top and figured I?d do it per drawing but the previous builder had notched the lap joint backwards at the overhang/flap intersection. I didn?t notice until dimpling tonight.
What would you do?
- A backwards lap joint (IB over OB) like the bottom (I?d seal the lap, of course)
- Remake the OB skin and fab like the drawing?
Structural integrity isn?t affected or there would be no question. My frustration is sky high because I thought I was within days of closing out wings.
Again, what would you do? Thanks.
