Default Fixed

Thanks for the input guys.
Two of the most memorable comments that I took from the EAA sheet metal workshop where that you will "drill into your finger", and "you can build a really good tractor or a Swiss watch".
The previous fit would have been fine, but I tried Scott's suggestion of using heat and it got pretty close to watch quality.
Haven't drilled my finger yet, but I am only 6 months into it.

Default Looks good!!!

I plan to make my 12 a 'Timex'. That'll be good enough for me - and at me skill level, probably about as well as I can do anyway. I will take my time and repair/replace anything that I can't stomach looking at very time I do a pre-flight. Your repair looks good enough to me. Carry on.

Arrow Finger drilling...

That's too far off. I'd fix it. Won't take that long, just some extra glass work.

Too far off. Fix. Just some extra glass work and shouldn't take that much time in the big scheme.

I'm more impressed with how you got table legs, boxes, and bottles to stick to the ceiling in your photos

Default Upside down pictures

I am using an iPad and the pictures look right to me. Maybe I have it upside down?



Tried this one upside down and still looks correct on my end.
