After reading the beginning of the manual as well as seeing a few other build logs reference trimming the nose ribs in the vertical stabilizer I thought I had done an adequate job trimming and rounding them.  What I can say is that it is best to have someone else help you load the skin onto the skeleton as I did not dent the skin putting it on but rather manipulating it in place to cleco it.  The center rib is the hardest to get as it will wobble and access is a little trickier than the others.  I did match drill the skin but after looking at it and deciding that the (5) dents in it would be highly visible I opted to order a new skin.  The skin shipped with the replacement fuselage skin F-1073 L that was damaged in the original shipment so freight would be minimal.  Next time will have a second person to prevent the damage.

Hard to see the dents but they are there right above the top clecos.
