Default RE: Tiny Hole in wing

Since you asked about the aerodynamic consequences of the hole.......................

There should be none. But if it enlarges, there is a possibility that there could be. And the AERODYNAMICS of losing the covering on one side of a wing can be huge.

A number of aircraft in WWI experienced real problems when their aerodynamics changed as a result of the wing covering blowing off.

Aerodynamics is sometimes a funny subject, sometimes not.
