I posted this question on another site and got a few replies, no help really. I was wondering if anyone over here could help. I am nearing completion of the rudder on my RV7A to the point of the dreaded training edge. I have been following Van's recommendation and clecoed the trailing edge to a rigid, straight piece of aluminum angle. Next, I will use fuel tank selant to bond the T edge before setting the rivets. The edge is nice and straight now. However, I noticed the skin makes a poping noise when I press on it, kinda like an old oil can, between stiffeners 915D and 915E on the left side and between stiffeners 915A and 915B on the right side. The rest of the skin between the stiffeners is nice and tight. Is this a problem? If this is a problem, how can it be fixed?
Thanks for your comments / suggestions.
