Let’s say that hypothetically a guy was working to remove the dreaded ski jump trailing edge from a set of older wings. He may have gotten a little exuberant and ended up with one small buckle where he foolishly stretched the skin in the area of the left aileron inboard hinge.
He then sent a picture to a paint-less dent guy who’s been known to take a dent out of the odd bonanza and whatnot, who told him that it was unlikely that he could get it 100% straight again, but he could easily form in a little doghouse there so that it would look like it was supposed to be there.
If you were this hypothetical guy, would you:
A- let the PDR guy work his magic and put a little doghouse in this area on both sides and and call it a speed mod.
B- cut out the warp as indicated by the sharpie lines and call it a part of the optional Delrin aileron stop mod
C- fret About it all weekend because that’s what we do and there may be another option I haven’t thought of
Hypothetically of course, because nobody would be dumb enough to do this in real life
