This is a little disconcerting. Everything fit fine when I match drilled the top skins. I did the countersinks in the spar flange, dimpled the ribs and rear spar flange, touched up the flange with my countersink. Now I clecoed every thing together again - starting at the leading edge - spar holes, worked toward the trailing edge and those holes/dimples no longer line up. They are off by at least 1/32 - the rivets will not lay down straight - which means the dimple and countersinked dimple on the spar are not nesting.
So, the plans have you start riveting in the middle and work outward. I worry that riveting won't restore any of the shrinkage caused by the dimples and I won't have a good fit at either the leading edge or the trailing.
Any tips gentlemen????
