Hey everyone,
I'm building an RV-7, I've noticed a hole in the inboard bottom wing skin (w-704) that I'm not sure what to do with. It's located on the same line of rivets as the most inboard rib. There is a hole in the skin halfway between where the rear spar and the flap brace attach to the skin. There seems to be no underlying structure there. It looks like it's ignored by the plans.
My question is: Should this hole be left alone? Is it intended to be a water drain hole? (it's pretty small and would probably plug up)
...OR, should I dimple it and put a rivet in there just to make it look pretty?
Thanks guys,
Steve Wolfe
