Tank Dimpling & Countersinking Complete
I decided to start reading further ahead in the manual and see what this attach bracket actually supports. It doesn’t attach to the fuselage and as I was looking through the wing attach section I saw on page 44-2 figure 3 that they specifically call out those holes I was curious about as being countersunk. I then went to try to flatten the dimples and they just didn’t look right and also one of them cracked. So I just decided to order a new one and I’ll get that squared away later. I should have remembered this advice to look ahead when I last called Van’s and tried to determine what to do with those holes. Either way, this was a simple lesson learned and I just have to wait for the shipment to arrive.
I went ahead and got everything countersunk and dimpled that needed on both tanks and decided to call it a day there.
