So I am embarrassed to say, I mis-drilled the left trim tab completely. This was the first part i match drilled (bought partially built Emp kit). The horns were first drilled to #30 then I continued match drilling the rest of the skin to the spar with #30. Can I just use AN426-4 rivets in place of the -3 rivets? This happened last week and I've been kicking myself in the butt about it ever since.
Also, riveted 5 left elevator top skin ribs backwards..ugh!!! this happened today. Drilled out 2 of the ribs before the NEW sioux drill took a dump! Can I just upsize what used to be #40 (AN426-3) holes to #30 and use AN426-4 rivets for these 20 or so rivets on these 5 ribs?
Not sure whats up with the NEW Sioux drill. The drill sounds slow and continues to slow down with the trigger held until it stops completely. Hopefully its covered under warranty. Just got the thing last week. It rained a ton today and had the garage door open. Not sure if humidity was an issue. Have an email out to Cleveland Tools to see if they will replace it or if I'm screwed.
Finally broke down and sent an email to VANS support and started this thread.
