When I look at the quality of RV's at Oshkosh, I'm just blown away by the quality of the airplanes I see. I am a perfectionist, but I'm limited by my skill.
For example, look at the pic and notice the dent in the skin...
This happened when my rivet gun slipped just a little while driving the rivet. I know it's nothing major, and can be filled with a little bondo before painting, but I often wonder how many other people have issues like this. Of all the tail pieces, flaps, ailerons, and wings, I have four or five of these little dents.
I can't even fathom building an RV and polishing it! I just can't build that perfectly. I need the paint to hide the mistakes!
Do you guys have issues like this or do I just suck as a builder? LOL
How many 'slips' have you guys had that you've had to fill before painting??
