Brief Description: Re-rigged the wings and re-drilled.
Today I worked on rigging and drilling the wings. Since I screwed this up twice already I tried to go slow and deliberate.
What I was doing wrong was when I originally drilled through the wings on the starboard side, I started the aft hole too close to the outside edge, and this distance from the center of the hole to the side wall was smaller than the center of my drill to the side of the drill. This meant that every time I tried to drill using the same hole in the aft vertical brace, I always drilled crooked and even closer to the outside edge.
What I did different today was that after I lined everything up I just started drilling from both the front and the rear of the wing to mark the positions of the holes. Since I can't drill the hole straight in the cockpit, I pulled the wings off and bolted them together. With the fuselage out of the way, I was then able to drill a straight hole from one side to the other. Since I started the holes while still in the fuselage from both sides, the holes should be accurate.
