Finished forming the spar channels and drilled a bunch of holes

Completed spar channels with pilot holes. |

This is about what the stabilator structure will look like when it's together. This is the right side. |

I can tell this is going to take a lot of messing around to get everything aligned nice and straight. I'll probably need some more clamps too! |

Alright I guess this is officially my first goof. I realized once I looked at how everything goes together that I should not have drilled the middle hole in the second row of holes shown here. Since they were rows of three everywhere else on this part, I just mindlessly drilled three there as well. Whoops! It doesn't seem like a very big deal, but I'll have to make sure that it won't cause any problems later. Worst case I'll have to redo these two spar channels, and I have enough channel stock left over, so I'm not too depressed about it. |
Note: I asked Sonex about this extra hole and they said it won't affect anything. Problem solved!
