Section 3, Fuselage Aft Assembly
Manual Ref: S3- 1.1 to 3.2

The first part to install in Section 3 was the Root Support Forward however the part was cut wrong and had a tilt to the left. I took the part to Progressive Aerodyne, but they were not to helpful. I am starting to feel like the unwanted Redheaded step child every time I call or go to the factory since I bought this kit instead of the kit from the factory. I wrote an E-mail to the CEO about this and am waiting for a response.

I ground down the bottom of the tube and enlarged a hole at the base to get it to stand straight.
I then was to drill the hole at the top of the brace but did not drill straight and the hole was in the middle in front of the tube, but off to the right on the back side. Frack! I re-drilled and used a Fender Washer instead of an AN4 Washer to cover the hole.
