Until now I was wondering how the attach blocks could be supplied updrilled to 1/2" and be able to line up. It appears to be only the right set are pre CNC bored. The left set are bored with the wings mated using the drill guide. Is this correct Spaceman?
The kit comes with two pilot drilled pairs of wing attach blocks, but you just updrill one set to 1/2" and then call them the RH blocks. Otherwise you are correct!
The wing spars already had the 3/16” holes drilled for the attach blocks, so once I updrilled the attach blocks I just bolted them on and they were ready to go. From there the 1/2" holes are the "master" if you will, so they get transferred through the RH spar web, LH spar web, and finally the LH attach blocks.
I agree, the process now takes away a lot of the uncertainty that was present (from what I've read) on the legacy models!
