Brief Description: HR-405 drilling mistake? Time to ask!
I pushed the flange of the HR-405 up against the forward spar as tight as I could and clamped it in place. I then drille the holes that go through three sheets of aluminum. The HR-405, the front spar, and the HS-601PP skin (which provided te guide hole. That went fine, but then when I looked at the flange of the rib, it looks like the hole may be too close to the edge of the flange. Of coure there will be about 5 more rivets in this area holding it all togther in some way or another, so I'm wondering if this is an order to Vans for a new rib or one of those more common "build on" replies. In the photos you can see the part in question. The holes look like they are about 1x the diameter of the hole from the edge. I think that looks kind of close. Time to ask advice and ideas once agian.
[UPDATE: I did some searching on Vansairforce forum and found someone with the same concern. I think his holes were closer to the edge than mine, and basically several said it was fine, and Van's gave the "build-on!" comment. All good!]
