I've had tight skins on other parts of the plane, but none have been the struggle that the forward top skin has been (tip-up). With other skins, like the tanks and wing leading edges, I figured out how to hold my tongue just right, use ratchet straps, etc to get them into alignment. So far I haven't found that secret for the forward skin (771)! No matter which order I cleco things in place, it's consistently about 1/4" short at the longeron. I've tried ratchet straps, but that didn't budge it. Any tips from those who had the same struggle?
