Chasing perfection
Drilled and clecoed my right wing top skin yesterday. Today I turned the wing over, jiged it up and drilled the bottom skin. Rechecked all measurements with main spar at 9 degrees and both spars centered bubble level. All measurements were exact except one spar tip was off 1mm. I just can't seem to get anything perfect!

I have a lot of places on my plane that are off by 1mm. There is no such thing as perfection on a homebuilt or factory built aircraft. Use the tolerances in the builders guide and do your best but don't beat yourself up over perfection. Look forward to the perfect day of flying.
