Bad Spar - I'm Cussing Here
These are center wing parts I'd bought from a builder who stopped building. And I figured out at this point that he had not match-drilled the spar caps to the web. The holes were a terrible mess. So I used the spar to "frame up" and drill all the center wing parts for future riveting. Then later, I completely disassembled the bad spar and used the material elsewhere. It was a good thing I did - what I found under the rivet heads was very unsafe.

Bob - Sure am! I started building quite awhile ago, but had to pause for a few years for various reasons. I've activated my account here and hope to restart building here soon. I'm scratch building and I've got enough parts to get pretty far with the fuselage - almost enough to get it all on-gear.
