I need some help here, I just finished drilling the fuel tank attach brackets that attach to the back of the fuel tank baffle. I did what the directions said and drew a centerline and found the center and drilled, then used the main spar as a guide for the other holes. I'm not perfect and some of the holes were not perfectly centered on the line. But after I attach them the plans say to lay down the baffle on them and make sure to see the center line i originally drew. Well I only see it on the end one so I drew a circle in a few of the holes in the baffle that should have been over my center line so when I lift it up I can see how far off I am. Some of the holes are about 1/16 from the edge of the angle. I'm not sure how I messed this up so bad but I'll obviously be doing it again. Has anyone else had this problem or fixed it or any advise to prevent it from happening the next time would be great. Thanks,

Nick

Try this method

Forget the plans, try this method. It works like a champ. http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=59719&highlight=Checkoway+method


Do a search for the "checkoway method" and try it out. It is much better than the way the plans have you do it.
