The Murphy Builders Site

I have finished my Vertical Fin and have slight protrusions on the leading
edge on each side coincident with each of the ribs - I have also noticed
these on several other builders horizontal/vertical stabs - Any clues on how
to prevent this? Is there a way to put a slight bend in the rib front
contact point so it does not deform the skin?

I searched the database and came up with the "Wing Leading Edge Question"
string that did not leave me with any techniques to prevent the dimple.

I took a pair of needle nose pliers and eased the corners of the leading
edge ribs over a little.Once you've got a dimple I think your stuck with it.
Not a major concern other than to p--- you off. Do this on the wing leading
edge also.

Good Luck
