I located the problem below(you can see the problematic area, literally two faces cause the problem, one belongs to the chassis and one to the side wing) and tried to solve the problem. I tried a finer global mesh, lowered the local sizing to 0.1, I also tried to delete the face and recreate it with the missing faces command, or combinations of things to make the geometry simpler, but nothing seems to work and unfortunately I cannot even delete the geometry in spaceclaim. I am out of ideas, so I would like your help.
