RV-10 Tailcone Dimple Mistake

Please see my question in the attached picture...

Just flatten the dimple with a squeezer and move on. That hole eventually gets a nutplate and #6 screw (to attach the empennage fairing).

BTDT, as was already said, flatten it and move on.

Yeah, that hole will need to be flattened because the rear spar of the vertical stab nests into that pocket on the back of the tailcone.

I agree with the other suggestions. Put two flush sets in the squeezer and use that to flatten the hole back to its original position.
