smilie
Did the elevator skin to spar rivets tonight with my wife. All went very smoothly except for one "smilie", which was my fault. Its at the leading edge of the elevator, top side, near the root.
The skin has a small smile-shaped dent. The scratching/scuffing that you see in the photo is just a result of a quick "buffing" with a scotchbright pad (when I was going over my rivet lines with a scotchbright pad, I also gave the smile a quick wipe). Other than cosmetics, is this smilie something I should worry at all about? Will this worry an inspector?
2 Photos below (two photos of the same dent, different angles).
