I love it! Cosmetic filler injection for airplanes. Make that old airplane look youthful again!salim wrote: ↑Wed Apr 22, 2020 2:20 pm So I got an answer both from Diamond and a service center.
It is a fairly common issue related with the fact the skin is thin at this location.
There is a void between the skin and the main structure, and in some conditions the aerodynamic pressure creates this defect.
It can be corrected fairly easily (1h) by injecting a filler from the inside.
But in any case they both say it is not essential and i can wait before doing it.
