Worked on countersinking all the required spots on all the HS and VS spots earlier this week. After a lot of studying and practicing the process, I was able to get the micro stop set up to be the right depth and went to work.
All of the countersinks came out great... Except one. I can't tell you what I did, nor can I tell from looking at it as the impression of the cage didn't move. But, it appears that I got the countersink to walk somehow, leaving a perfectly oval hole in an HS-902 spar.
The location of the errant hole is right in the middle of the spar, in what will be the lower edge.
I sent an e-mail to Vans support, but haven't received any response yet. Work has interfered with trying to call them. I'm leaning toward needing replacement, but I'm hoping for some miracle cure. Hoping to prime over the next couple days and start banging rivets this weekend.
So, figured since Vans hasn't helped yet, I'd get an idea of what others here think.
