I was match drilling the skin through the J stringer into the F-779 skin. It was hard enough trying to keep the centre line of the J stringer in the centre of the side skin (F-773) hole of the tail cone let alone line up the hole in the F-779 on my RV 9. This was the result, figure of 8 holes and oversize holes
The second photo is an overview of the two rear bulkhead and tail wheel spring assembly. The problem is the horizontal holes on the F-779 tail cone skin.
I have emailed VANS. I am thinking of drilling out the holes to #30 and using a 4 oops rivet. Not sure of my options here and are asking for advice. Many thanks in advance.
