HR2 rear spar trim for pushrod update
Hello, I have a purchased HR2. During the conditional inspection I noticed the rear spar had alot of material removed so that the push rod would have full range of movement. I worry that too much metal has been removed. The area had not been smoothed or primed. I also noticed that the rod end bearing was set to its lowest setting and not adjusted higher which would give more clearance maybe not requiring so much metal having to be removed from the rear spar. I could smooth out the trimmed aera and prime it and leave it alone. I also could put in a reinforcement to the center section. I have included pics of this area. I would very much appreciate sugestons for this repair. Thanks alot.
