Since you have all been so kind and considerate with my question, I feel safe to dig a little deeper. Why, in this location, would you not dimple the ribs or brackets?
Also I am an EAA member, I have watched many of the EAA videos, and I have variously attended my local, well managed, EAA chapter. My attendance has been spotty as I feel a bit disconnected not being a builder yet. Once I have a project in hand, I think my sense of belonging will grow. I am visiting Van's factory Mar 22 for a tour and inspection of the 14. In the meantime, I am living vicariously through all of your experiences and good graces.
