Hello fellow forum members,
I hope this message finds you well. I am currently working on my RV14 project, specifically on the E-903 Tip Rib from the elevator. Unfortunately, I've encountered a concerning issue during the dimpling process.
When attempting to dimple the E-903 Tip Rib, I noticed cracks appearing. I've double-checked my tools, technique, and followed the instructions meticulously, but the problem persists. I am reaching out to the community to seek advice and guidance on how to address this issue effectively.
The flanges seem to be factory-bent, running on from the holes, which probably caused the crack
(See attached pics)
If anyone has faced a similar problem or has insights on how to prevent cracks during dimpling on this specific part, I would greatly appreciate your input. Additionally, if there are recommended modifications or alternative approaches that have proven successful, I am open to exploring those options.
Thank you in advance for your assistance. Your expertise and shared experiences are invaluable, and I look forward to your responses.
Best regards,
