I have a fastback build thread over in the RV-4 section, but I thought this is worth sharing with everyone. We bought the plane used and was storm damaged. After pulling the wings for transport we noticed that the rear wing spar carry through was mis-drilled and had two holes very close together. In my opinion this should have never passed inspection and the spar should have been replaced.
This particular mess-up would not be a deal breaker for me, because I planned on tearing the plane down to rebuild it anyway and it is an easy fix, but if it was a turn key plane I would definitely have second thoughts.
