The previous owner put a small bend in the edge of the rear top wing skin (seems to be advocated in the build manual) where it meets the forward wing skin. The bend was great enough that it didn't settled down for stretches from the force of the riveting. I would say the protrusion is 1/16" . I have tried to hit the rivets again, but it is not enough in some spots to remove it.
I am worried that this is a key airflow area. I was thinking of using bondo to make a smooth transition between the wing skins. Am I overthinking this? Is this necessary? I have read reports that a simple ridge from paint lines on the wing can reduce speed, but don't know how sensitive this is.
Thanks for your guidance here.
