Good afternoon,
I clecoed my flaps together for one last fit before I rivet them together. While doing this I noticed that where the top skin overlaps the bottom skin on the inboard side there is about an inch and a half of overhang with no rivets. I am curious because the opening faces the direction of flight and I could see it easily getting bent by the airstream. What have others done, did you leave it, put a rivet in it, pro seal it? Just curious b/c if I am to rivet it, it will be much easier to dimple before I actually put it together
thanks,
Brandon
