Good suggestions, although getting inside the wing is to much work to remove the skin.

I like adding a piece of .016 skin over the problem area....sounds fool proof and with a little creativity can be make to look good.

I did see a "Pop-a-Dent" ad and that gave me the idea of using hotmelt glue to attach a stick that will be pulled on to remove the dent. It sounds promising as I doubt much force is required to pull it back out. A quick yank on the stick should do the trick before the glue bond breaks.

I'll update this post after I try the hotmelt glue method first, if that fails I can still try something else.

you could always drill a 1/8 hole, pull the dent and then stuff a rivet in the hole..not pretty, but functional...also, be careful of creases...they be stress risers, matie....
