Brief Description:  Rear stick dtilling

Drilled the #12 hole through the rear stick and rear stick base for the AN3 bolt that connects them. I didn't clamp the base in the drill vice tightly enough and the base shifted during drilling making the bolt holes significantly out of position. The plans called for the hole through the stick and base perpendicular to the aircraft centerline but looking at the drawings I saw no reason why it couldn't be drilled parallel to the centerline so I used a different set up and drilled another set of holes. This time worked out much better.

Next I filled the miss drilled holes in the base with JB weld using the stick (wrapped with tape for a release layer) to form the inside diameter. I wrapped tape on the outside to form the JB weld to the outside diameter.

(The next morning I removed the tape and pulled the rear pilot's stick from the rear pilot's stick base. After cleaning up the excess JB weld the stick looked good. After paint the missed drilled hole probably won't be noticeable.
