I finished filing the edges of the HS-307 rear spar doublers this morning. Filing is fun for the first 4 or 5 hours, and then a person starts to go a little insane. Once the doublers fit alright, I measured out the rivet spacing, allowing for the elevator hinge brackets and the inboard rib. Van's instructions specifically say "Triple Check your drill template." I double, triple, quad checked the thing because after all that damn FILING... well let's just say all I could think was "DON'T F*@# IT UP." Finally marked & drilled the rivet holes on the drill press and as far as I can see they are all OK. About a third of the day was spent helping Ben set his flaps-- Cruella is finally looking like an airplane!
