Before I finished up the HS left side, I wanted to make sure that the HS-702 tab seen here &#8211; left with a smaller edge radius where the excess flange radius was removed &#8211; wasn&#8217;t too sharp. I emailed Van&#8217;s with some pictures, and they gave me the thumbs-up.<\/p>\n<p>One tricky area I encountered was how to drill the HS-405 front flange, and trim the HS-404 aft flange, so that when the two are drilled together all holes have the proper edge distance. Based on newsgroup emails, this area has been a problem for others as well. So, I cut two strips of scrap 0.032&#8243; aluminum and clamped them to the -404 and -405, as a sort of simulated HS skin. I marked the HS-404 flange edges on the -405 and used those marks, plus a little margin for error, to lay out the two center #40 holes called for in the plans. If you use this approach, be sure to pull the -404&#8217;s flange tight against the -405 after they are clamped together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not much progress recently, a rather tough weekend around the house.
