Hello all. This is my first post to VAF, as I have just recently taken the plunge and bought a relatively new, but secondhand, RV-8 empennage kit! It's taken me about 6 months of research, but I'm super excited to be starting the build.
Last night I drilled out two holes that attach the forward spar assembly. Specifically the HS-405 to HS-810. Now the plans and instructions both say that the hole will NOT be centered on HS-810 and to make sure that the proper edge spacing is observed for HS-405. The edge spacing for 405 is fine, but the hole on HS-810 looks to close to the side for my comfort. Thoughts? Am I being overly paranoid?
Thanks!
