Nov 02, 2019 4 match drilled L/H half Category: Empennage
This encompasses a couple of different sessions with a total of about 4 hours, not counting research. Finished match drilling the L/H skin and all the support structure. Disassembled and match drilled the HS702, HS714, HS710 & HS00001 doubler inbd of the HS00005 & 6 ribs.

Lots of old posts on the Van's forum about edge distance problems on the ears of the HS00001. You just have to match drill thorough existing holes in the 710 & 714 and you get what you get. The print didn't give dimensions and the default 2d for a -4 rivet looked like it would be unlikely so I was thinking that I was going to have the same issue. Before I went any further, I researched it in depth, and discovered that the SB that installs this part to existing Horizontal Stabs specifically callout a min. edge distance for those rivets of 5/32" I don't know why they don't add that note to the assembly print, for new components because it would save a ton of research trying to figure this out. I measured it out and have good ed per service bulletin, so I'm moving on.
