I have an attachment on my drill motor that handles that fairly well. It is
a device to help make truly vertical holes, it has a platform that sits on
flat surfaces. It can slide or be locked on to the two supporting rods.
<sigh> I should just go take a picture of it. Mostly I leave most of the
device off, except the piece behind the chuck that holds the rods. The top
of the platform, which is about 8" from the chuck, at the end of the rods,
has 'V' blocks made in. Oh, forget it, I'll take a picture. The V-blocks
(cast in) hold tubular objects, the drill motor slides vertically down to
the work piece, held in alignment by the rods, the drill is held at right
angle to the work piece. Bought it about 35 years ago. Works like a charm
for many things. I learned 45 years ago that it is hard to hold a drill
truly normal (vertical) to a flat surface, while building the 747 in N. Long
Beach.

Brother Canterbury:
A measure I have found to be effective is to beef up the spring(s) on the
offending rudder pedal.
I installed two springs, vice the one called for in the plans. This enabled
the use of a smaller rudder tab
and might save you from having to knock those additional holes in your
rudder.
Worth what ye paid fer it...

I flew the aircraft today without the trim tab and it was as expected. Right
leg was sore after one trip around the patch. I will be fabricating a new
trim tab soon and give that a try. I would like to install some kind of
reinforcement to the rudder to mount the tab to instead of trying to drill
the small round tubing. It is hard to keep the drill bit from walking. I
might check with a friend that has a machine shop and see if he can make
some kind of jig or fixture to help with that. I appreciate all of the
feedback.

Hi ,
I think --underline think-- that Kolb has a tool that is used to center the holes
when
drilling the ribs, you might give Travis a call.

if you go to harbor freight... look for a center punch that is pressure
actuated..... when you push on it it builds up tension and then goes "snap"
an internal hammer gets released and hits the back of the point and makes a
perfect starting divot for a drill. if you "snap" it a few times the dent
will be large enough that the drill wont slip out, providing you have a good
drill bit. or start with a very small drill then work up to the size you
need. because you are working aluminum and not steel... try and find one
that has a less stiff spring,,, you dont want to bend the tubing when it
goes snap.... or hopefully you can get something to back up the tubing so
there is no possibility of bending it. best to try it on some scraps to
test the results before moving to the plane.... if you can find a sheet
metal fabricating shop,,, stop by and see if they have a 1/8th inch drill
bit that has a double grind on the tip,,, and that is probably not the best
description... they have a very sharp point due to the extra grinding on
the tip and have less tendency to move around when you start a hole,
especially when they have a center punched hole to start in. some of these
drill bits have been ground on both ends, and you get 2 cutting points in
one bit.

Makes me want to have my airplane out there, but not willing to pay the
price to fly it cross continent.
I couldn't tell what condition the river was in. Did it look ok to you?

It is a bit high, but I think it is fishable. I am quite sure that we can
get across both spots. I have a friend from my boyhood days coming to visit
the 13th, and he is an ardent fisherman. At that date we might well still
be able to catch some trout. The end of the month, it will be about as low
as it was when we were there last.
I talked to JB and he isn't going to be able to come for the fly-in. He has
some grand kids that will be messing up his schedule. He won't make it
before late August or Sept.

I am using the Obrien brakes on my Kolbra. I have the Matco MC-4 master cylinders.
Currently, the brakes are not working well. I am going to need to design some
different brake pedals that will give more leverage. I have heard that they
require a 4:1 mechanical advantage to work properly.
