Hi Guys,
I new here. I will probably have many questions. I received my empennage kit last week and have been working on the horizontal stabilizer. My edge distance on the hole I drilled through HS 405 ended up putting the hole too close to the edge of HS 710 I believe. The left side came out fine. My question is since there are like 7 other rivets that attach HS 710 to HS 702 front spar, should I still replace the bracket even though the edge distance on HS 405 is fine. If its recommended to replace HS 710, can I run over to Home Depot and buy some angle aluminum stock and make my own HS 710 rather than wait a week to get a replacement one from Vans?
I'll get a picture of it and post it tonight.
