I have a question I was hoping someone could help me with. After shrinking fabric on fuselage I noticed that the fabric is about 1in away from the lower vert stab rib channel. I stopped at 250 degrees so it would be easier to pull down for rib stiching then I will take it to 350.Is this common for distance between lower rib channel and fabric?.
