I wasn't going to jump in on this, but!!!! I have to agree with John, I just
hand held the AEX wedges and drilled them with the countersink. I building
my fuselage now and after doing the rudder, elevators, ailerons and flaps,
they all came out beautiful! If you have to have a machine shop to do the
wedges then is it really home building?
Sorry, no disrespect meant! We all have our own ways and that is good to.

| Subject: | center section conduit holes |
--> RV9-List message posted by: Paul Eastham <eastham@netapp.com>
Hey All,
I just enlarged the outboard holes in my center section for conduit
to 5/8", as instructed, and find that the holes now interfere with
(are overlapped by) the two side sections that are riveted to the area.
On the plans (which also instruct you to enlarge the holes to 5/8"),
the holes are depicted at 3/8", and do not interfere with the side
posts at that size.
Anyone else have this problem?
Though this one is certainly not the end of the world, I am growing
increasingly frustrated by errors in the plans and manual. Should I
be triple-checking every single instruction and measurement, comparing
the plans, manual, and reality, for any possible conflict?

Terry,
None taken! That is what this is all about, finding what works for you. I
am making all sorts of little parts and tools with my mini lathe/milling
machine. My only point is that we often have tools we don't consider
"aircraft" tools. I would guess that some of us homebuilders have been
tinkerers and have things helpful to our projects that we may not consider.
I just used mine to make countersink guides for my wing spars--took only a
few minutes and saved some bucks (now I don't need #6 or #8 countersinks.)
Works for me!
