So, in a brilliant move seems I missed a countersink on the main spar for the leading edge skin dimple. Last one in the row at the end. Of course I have it all nearly riveted.
So...any suggestions on how I might solve this. I was thinking of flattening the dimple on the leading edge skin, then countersinking the skin for that one in particular. Question is:
1. Do I countersink for a standard AD3 rivet. (the leading edge skin is 0.025")
2. Countersink slightly for NAS1097AD3 rivet and live with a smaller head?,
3. Drill to #30, countersink slightly and use a NAS1097AD4 rivet? (I'm nervous about drilling up a size on the wing spar)
Any other suggestions?
