| Subject: | Question - Countersinking Wing Spar |
Thanks for the follow-up Dan. Worked perfect!! I rechecked my test dimple
and the skin was slightly off. I was able to complete both spars'
countersinks yesterday.

Follow the instructions. Rivet the nutplates first they will serve to
center the pilot.
When I built mine I didn't trust that. I could have. I wasted all sorts of
time using a backup strip with a pilot centering hole. Worked fine but took
too long. Could have done it in less than half the time -- by (a) following
the plans, and (b) using a ball bearing microstop cage rather than the cheap
bushing version that came with my Avery kit (I upgraded to a ball bearing
cage from Avery eventually).

I have come to the point where its time to CS the main spar and the #30
Countersink that is recommended by the plans seems to run out of blade
before it makes the CS hole deep enough for the #8 screw. My test piece
that I am using is dimpled correctly. I have the 3-blade CS set from
Cleaveland.
PS) I already have made myself a pilot out of a scrap 1/8 aluminum stock.
That part works great
Any help would be appreciated.
