Top Skin Fit

The top skin on the back of the fuse has an outward buckle in it when clecoed in place. If I let the skin follow the contour of the fuse, the holes don't line up. The skin fits fine aft of the baggage bulkhead. This is my 4th RV build, and so far this kit has been the most challenging.

I had a similar problem with that piece on my RV-9. After discussing the situation with Vans help desk folks, they were able to punch a piece for me that only had the holes that matched my fuselage. I back drilled the remaining holes and it all worked out just fine.
