I am not sure if it is just being tired, not paying attention, or both but my error rate is going up.....
Due to what I think is confusing wording on 22-05 step 2, I drilled the two outside holes on the counterbalance tube for the Aileron to #27 instead of starting at #40 and then going to #30 later. These are the outside most holes in the nose skin/tube.
It calls for an LP4-3 rivet which is #30. I will just order another stainless tube and start the whole thing over if needed, but before I do that is there a blind rivet which would work for a #27 hole? I already mailed Vans to see what would be acceptable including ordering a new tube but this might make me feel better while I wait if there is such a beast.
For those that are yet to get to step 2 the wording is:
"Final-Drill #27 the marked holes and the two #40 holes in the
counterbalance"
I read that as Final drill all of them #27.
