Subject: | Concern about leading edge rivet |
Last night the wife and I finished riveting the leading edge. There was a
point when dropping in the forward most rivet on the leading edge that it
was slightly canted because the rib did not want to line up perfectly. We
went ahead and riveted the rivet and it came out looking fine and the rib to
skin mating was fine, also the cleco seemed to go in and out just fine.
I am just concerned with stress on the rivet - should I do something
different or do anything to correct this?
