Moved on to p. 06-03 to begin work on upper and lower spar caps. I separated the parts (upper & lower) using the 'nibbler' and then used the vixon file to trim the VS-1212A-R. This worked well, it taking time and not in hurry. I am proud of the result.
Used a sharpie to draw the reference line on VS-1212B-R & L. I have what I thought was a fine point sharpie. Not so. The line I get is medium and this creates a challenge as you use the reference line. Hard to know exactly what edge you should use, so take care. Will shop for a fine point in the future. Having taken the care I mentioned, I was able to be accurate with reference line and when match drilling later, I was happy that I was careful.
Clamped upper & lower spar caps to VS-1203 Rear Spar and followed steps to match drill the #30, #40 and #12 holes. I was able to do this on the drill press and I believe the helped do a better job in keeping the holes perpendicular. I needed to clamp a 2x4 onto the drill press platform to make this work and I am happy with the results. I did miss 4 #12 holes and 6 #40 holes at the one end of the spar, but caught it later and came back to finish the job.
Finished match drilling and then deburred holes.
