Good afternoon!
I wonder if anyone has dimpled the rear wing spar flange or countersunk like I did? I read afterwards that one should dimple the .040 flange and then follow up with light countersink since its hard to get a good dimple with that thick. Anyway, I countersunk it and now wonder if that's ok? Has anyone done this and called Van's for advice? Thanks for any input..
Also, I checked the torque on the AN3 tank to spar z brackets and it seems the factory employees in Phillipines torque them to 60"lbs instead of 20-25. Should I loosen them? 25 inchLbs sure does not feel very tight to me. I feel huge urge to tighten just a bit tighter.
thanks everyone!
