Hi all,
I am very frustrated and blue!
Got to thinking about an extra hole I put through the 705 bulkhead for some extra wiring to the back of my 9A.
The 705 is the bulkhead that the aft wing attachments bolt to and I drilled a 3/4 inch hole through it just outside of the mid seat belt attach point on the pilots side. It is a quick build and I did is sort of blind.
Got to thinking about it this AM at 3:30. Began to wonder if it was such a good idea and where the hole actually went through.
Looked closely with a mirror and sure enough the hole is right against the bottom skin!
OK I know I deserve a Darwin award. Has anyone else "had a friend" who might have pulled a similar stupid stunt, and how did you (er- -- they) fix it?
I will be contacting vans engineering on Monday, but would appreciate any input anyone might have.
Duane
