Nearly completed drilling the HS#2, Nearly... - 8 Hours



I tried to put in another stellar day in on the HS. Everything was going extremely well. I fitted the spars and ribs together. Worked on the HS-710/714 angles. Cleco'd on the skin. 

Began to fit the HS-00005/00006 ribs. Finished the left side and began the right. Then I noticed I made a terrible error. I drilled the hole fitting HS-00005 to HS-710 centered in the angle, not 7/16" down. The hole is too high up and edge distance is an issue. Silly mistake as I was going too fast. It only affects a few parts that I have to redo. Fortunately I didn't drill that hole on the right side, so i'm still ok. Normally I'd be quite ticked off.
