Hi,
I've fitted the top skins of both wings last night.
On the left wing, the outboard skin prepunched holes do not line up with the prepunched holes in the spar channel.
Everything fits just fine except for the 15 most outboard holes.
Here is a close up of one of the holes. They are all about the same:
You can see that the misalignment is almost half the diameter of the holes.
I've tried both skins on this spar with same result. Both skins fit just fine on the other wing (or spar). I've tried everything I could think of, no luck.
I'm afraid that if I drill as it is I will enlarge either the hole in the skin or in the spar, ending up with 8 shaped holes, which is no good.
Any suggestions please...
Alain.
