Stjohn's RV-7

Mostly. I’ve edge-prepped the inboard main and nose ribs (don’t remember the part numbers, and I’m at work) and I’m now trying to measure twice, three times, four times on where to put the holes in the main ribs so that the 2D rule is met for both the ribs and the splice angles. If you’ll remember from last time, there was some concern about being wide of the mark with the flange trimming of HS702 and it looks like the relief holes are a little bigger than they ought to be. what this means is that there’s a very narrow tolerance of where I can drill the HS405 rib to meet the 2D requirements. I’ve been agonizing over it for a couple of hours, and I think it’s still viable, although I can’t be sure.. The safest way to proceed is to replace the part. Duh. Any moron with a fat wallet and a lot of spare time can go through life this way, but I think if the part is still within limits, why not go for it? so that’s what’s going to happen. The 2D rule (guideline) might be smudged by about 1/32 of an inch (on the splice angle, not the rib), but if I put that hole in exactly the right spot, it will probably work fine.
I have a bunch of pictures on the camera, but I have yet to upload them. This will happen soon, I promise.
