|
|
I made a post last week about how the hole distance was very close to the rib web on the holes which are to be dimpled to receive the wing tips.
No one had definitively stated that the was not a problem with simply gringing the female die down aswell as the rounded end of the frame on the pneumatic squezer.
Solutions of using a channel lock to hold the dimple dies, using nutplates and screws to make the dimple were other solutions offerred.
Today I dimpled all the holes just altering the female die and making the end of the frame on the pneumatic squezer match the die and then taped them so they held their relation to one another. There was no problem, the wings skins did not deform or bow outward as I had worried about.
Just passing it along...I made a concern out of nothing.
