So far no problem, BUT now how do you then dimple the Skin where the E-718 (INBOARD Trim Tab Horn) goes as the 2 rivets for it are approx 1/8" from the bent Skin Tab ????? One of the 2 rivets is also near the bent trailing edge which makes it impossible to get at. Question 2: Instructions say to "bevel the inboard and aft edges of the Counterbalance Skin (E-713) locally where the Counterbalance Skin overlaps the (Elev) Spar and Rib flanges to provide a smooth transition between the Counterbalance Skin and the Elevator Skin." This does not make sense. I can see "beveling" the Elev Skin "at the point" where the Counterbalance Skin goes UNDER the Elev Skin to make a smooth transition. Am I missing something ???
