Hi Guys,
I am getting ready to drill the main gear on my RV-8 and I have everything all lined up.
A long long time ago... after I screwed up a part, by drilling a hole in the wrong spot. My tech adviser (Paul Merems) told me, ? you should never drill a hole unless you know exactly where it will come out?. I am starting to hear these words in my sleep.
The problem is, I can't figure out how to do that inside the gear tower. And the penalty for failure is huge. I have the U-805 wear plate positioned exactly 3/16? from the edge of the lower longeron, but how can I ensure that the hole will come out in the center of the weldment? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
