Today I finally squared my wings and drilled the rear spar holes.
Wings are 0.0? incidence (with wood block underneat per dwgs) and equally distanced from the tail (approx. 1/32'' difference from wing tip to wing tip). Hole are exactly straight and well distanced from all edges (say 20/32'').
I drilled the holes with #30, then #12, 1/4'' and finally 5/16. Instructions says to use 5/16 drill bit.
Well, when I inserted bolts, they are a bit loose. They are not a tight fit. I am a bit upset of this, since I also had a .311 drill bit, but for some reason I did not use it (since manual said 5/16...). I read a lot of threads and found that this is not a problem, since the rear spar does not carry a lot of load.
But I am worried that with time the hole may enlarge, with wear. I would like to fix this and I was thinking on using slightly bigger bolts.
Will you think that NAS1105-6 will be OK or shall I leave them as they are?
Thanks.
