While I was feeling real good about the outcome of my trim tab, I realized that when I placed the tab in the "V" block to allow the sealant to cure; I pressed it a little too much and once removed from the "V" block the skin looks buckled where the ribs are. If was to measure the depresion I would say it is about 1/32" to 1/16" max.
Looking at other RV's, you can see this type of deformity on the wings and sometimes the fuse. Maybe it is inherent to all alluminum aircraft.
Do you experts believe this is something that would mandate another tab?
Or merely a cosmetic issue.
Thanks.
