I'm resending the questions hoping for better luck this time: Does anyone know the acceptable tolerance for the extent to which bolts in the elevator, horizontal stabilizer, ailerons, rudder, etc. must be perpendicular to the spar? For example, is there an acceptable number of degrees away from 90? If you have a bolt hole that pretty clearly is not drilled at 90 degrees, what is the best solution? Tony Bingelis suggests making wedge washers. Is this appropriate? Are there other solutions? Any help would on this would be appreciated. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML homepage: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html
