If you have Countersunk the spar and came up with the enlarged hole, then use a strip of aluminum inside of the spar. I believe you could rivet the over enlarged holes and be okay, but I am not going that route. I over enlarge the left Aileron and could not get the clecos to hold, so I placed scrap pieces under every cleco to form a clamp. My kit Came with extra 1/2 inch strips the length of my aileron spar. The counter sinking of the sink/spar combo is similar to the tank skin to rear baffle. Best regards, Phil Johnston Hi all, Has anyone asked Van's yet about their crazy instructions for countersinking the aileron spar? They say to countersink it for skin dimples, since we don't want to warp that .040 spar. Problem is, .040 is too thin to countersink for a dimple. Enlarges the hole.

We sold out our first batch fairly quickly, and have received a second batch. However, it appears that the manufacturer can't seem to catch with the demand fast enough, so we don't know how long they will be around for those that interested.
