Thanks in advance.
shoot me down on flames if needed. ( possibly a bad choice of words)
ive purchased a II high wing and converting it to low wing.
previous owner/s have removed the sheets from the wings, all of them...
for doing the wing upgrade.
some of them with a grinder, and made small nicks into the skins.
so, how bad is it to consider using CCP rivets for the skins.
how much does this affect turbulence, drag.
if money was no object I’d put new skins on etc.
but also atempting to line up the holes would be impossible.
your thoughts appreciated.
Next item.
the wing carry through spar on the high wing is flat.
on the low wing is 3 deg dihedral.
can you reuse the carry through spar, cut it and reweld with stiffeners.
again if cash was not an issue, new ones would happen...
also I’m remotely located, so every item is hard and expensive to get.
so we learn to use what we have if possible...
I also note the tail and elevators for the low wing are shown differently on the plan.
essential ?
advisable?
thanks again.
