I talked to Vans and I'm going to use a dremel tool and then smooth the edges off with sand paper to gain the slight clearance I need in the spar hole. Should be good to fly tomorrow.

Angry SB16-03-28 Process

What I DIDN'T see in the SB was an inspection method for the 6/6A. I removed one aileron and attempted to view the forward side of the rear spar with an inspection mirror. That didn't work due to the rib that is right there. I built my wings about 12 years ago, so please forgive me for not remembering what they look like inside!

I tried reaching in through the bottom inspection holes and taking pictures in the blind with my cell phone. This worked! I didn't have to go to Harbor Freight Aviation Supply and buy a borescope.

It might be nice if Van's included the how-to-do-it along with the what-to-do.

Default Apple Watch

No Cracks, 430 hours plenty of aerobatics.

Apple watch let me monitor cell phone camera position then snap the picture, very cool, now if only the cell phone camera would fit in a spark plug hole!

Cheers
