Hi,
Not questioning the instructions from Vans, just curious about hole sizing for the bolts that attach the rudder on the RV14. The plans tell us to final drill the AN3 holes to #12 drill size (.1890") where the bolt will fit nicely into a 3/16" (.1875") reamed hole. What is the reasoning behind opening up the hole slightly that could introduce play/movement?
Thanks Jim
