I'm working on my RV-14A horizontal stabilizer, pg. 08-04. Yesterday, I final drilled the two 1/4" holes through the doubler/forward spar stack per step 4. My newbie brain wasn't really engaged, apparently, because I just eyeballed that I was centered on the existing doubler holes.
Now, I'm worried that these holes won't match exactly with the F-01410C Horizontal Stab Attach Bars that are final drilled 1/4" on pg. 10-10. Some options that come to mind:
1) Build on, final drill the the F-01410C attach bars when I get there, and hope and pray I'll be able to insert the bolts without much "persuasion" when I attach the h-stab on pg. 11-05. Or,
2) As in 1), but expect to need to do some additional match-drilling at assembly time in order to insert the bolts. This will result in less-than-perfectly-round holes on the attach bars. Or,
3) When I get to the point of drilling the attach bars, I could somehow try to cleco together the F-01410x stack (pg. 10-10), and use the front spar/doubler to match-drill the attach bars.
Are any of these options the "right" way to go forward, or is there something else I'm not thinking of (besides starting over, hopefully )?
