Hi Gang,
Quick intro: I'm Dave Welch. Ellen and I just recieved RV12 Wing Kit #121 here in Huntsville. BTW: We built our RV7 Emp at Alexander's with Rudi Greyling. It was a pleasure to see his finished aircraft pix and hear about the awards.
OK, the Question:
Seems to me the existing hole in the AEX tiedown is SO CLOSE to being 3/8" already, I'm afraid to try drilling it for fear of breaking my bit off down in there. Did you guys actually drill it or did you just go ahead and run the tap in there? If drilled, did you do it by hand or with a Drill Press. Any experiences, cautions and suggestions will be appreciated!
Best Regards,
Dave.
