While I am waiting on a replacement HS part to arrive (I'm sure it would have been a "build on", but for ~$10 and a little time I can have peace of mind) I started on the rudder since the first steps are much like the airfoil practice kit only in large scale. I got to the point of dimpling the skin, made a few with my c-frame and noticed the holes looked too large and too deep. Seems like I have always read you can't "over-dimple" but I'm afraid this is what happen. I put a dimpled stiffener up to the skin and it would not lay flush(skin dimples were too deep) and a 3/32 cleco won't even stay in the skin holes. Any ideas as to what I did wrong or if this is fixable (only 4 total dimples in the skin so far)? I didn't think I was hitting THAT hard, and I have the correct dimple set in.
Thanks for any help.
