I was not very happy with the left forward skin position. Today's investigations showed that the gap between the siderail and the canopy deck whiich is supposed to be 1/8, closed completely after riveting and forced the forward frame upward. The closed gap can be seen on the picture forward of the green adhesive.



On this picture the postion is correct, but the 1/8 spacer had to be forced into position. So I drilled out some rivets I thought my cause the problem and this proved correct. The two upper left rivets and the forward rivets on the splice plate where causing some tension on the parts. The small wedge proved also to be not thick enough.



So I fabricated a new wedge, reamed some holes that were slightly misaligned and all looks better now if id the gap is a it less than 1/8.
