Mistake on aileron spar dumb *** - holes to close
So today was a very productive day and I was wrapping up when I realise that I had used the wrong line to position my aileron nose rib. I initally thought...a simple fix was to replace the spar doublcing plate on the front and move on. So after making a new one, I place the nose rib in place and used the 90 degree drill to get the rib in the correct location. Sucess or so I thought!....nope being the dumb *** that I am, missed that the spar was already drilled and drilled three holes right next to the ones I had drillered earlier. So the rib....all good, doubler all good, but spar has 6 holes instead of 3....and no the minimum gap distance would not apply. They are no 30 holes and the distance on the top one is around 3/32 and 1/8 at the bottom...what to do next, replace the aileron spar ? Any help appreciated...So dang cross with myself for being so stupid! Pics attached of my mess
