Wish I hadn't ignored that old timer about rivet spacing
Buddy of mine who's been doing sheet metal since the 80s told me to space my rivets tighter on a wing skin repair... I thought he was being overly cautious, now I'm looking at a 6 inch crack forming after only 3 months. Anybody else learn a lesson the hard way from ignoring the graybeards around the hangar?

That 1/8th inch difference almost cost me a whole panel.

A half inch tolerance would've saved you all that grief.
