On another issue, I recently completed making all the cuts in my .063 aluminum panel. When I started, this sheet was perfectly flat. The pilot side has eight 3.15" openings as well as three 2.25" openings and all were done with a hole punch. It's pretty clear that the process of punching these holes has created some stress in the aluminum and the finished panel no longer lies flat. Actually, there is about a 3/16" bow at the center on the pilot side. This is not noticable when installed and braced, but I'm wondering if there is a simple method for relieving any stress which crept into the panel during the hole punch operation... any thoughts?
