I'm New Here
Hi all -
I?m a first time poster but a long time lurker. I?m currently working on an RV-7 tail kit. I finished the HS which went well, however in deburring the ribs and spars of my VS, I believe I was a little overzealous with my deburring causing larger than normal chamfers on my holes. Now I understand that chamfers are essentially a fact of life when using a three-flute deburring tool like I am, however when does it become too much? I don?t believe any of my holes are enlarged, however say on my .032 rear spar, many are likely a little more than the 10% chamfer limit identified in the Van?s rivet specs.
I have ordered all new spars and ribs for the VS. My concern is, however, is that since the skin was already final-drilled to these orignial spar/rib parts, that I run the risk of making oval or enlarged holes as I try to final-drill the skin to these new interior structures if they?re slightly off from the original kit parts.
My question is, do I accept the slightly deep duburred holes, or do I redo the interior understructure?
I appreciate everyone?s input.
