Well in the first week or so of building I've certainly made my share of mistakes. I'm already on my second set of HS attach brackets.
It's become clear to me that I've been too aggressive in deburring some of the first parts that I've matched drilled. The one that I'm most concerned about is the HS-908 horizontal stabalizer attach bracket. Some of the holes have about a 1/32 " bevel on them from deburring. Should I be concerned? I could easily build two new brackets. But I've already matched drilled them to the spar/spar doubler assembly. Match drilling new brackets to the existing holes in the spar/spar doubler would be a little tricky.
I certainly don't want to have HS attach brackets that have compromised strength.
