Need opinions;
Folded the rudder skin per instructions. I understand the need for a flat surface and not bulge. Didn't get a bulge but do have a "bow" at a couple of the stiffeners. Trailing edge is otherwise straight.
I straightened the stiffeners after dimpling by fluting then they went the other way after back riveting. I'm thinking I would have broke even if I had left them alone.
Pass or fail?
