Some days I just shake my head. So I drilled 2 lightening holes in my rudder brace after spending a couple hours drilling it to the firewall and drilling the rudder block to it. I accidentally drilled one of the lightening holes at 1 5/8 from the bottom side instead of 1 5/16. The saving grace is the I hadn’t trimmed anything off of the brace yet so there is still good edge distance. If I just leave the brace untrimmed, does anyone know if it’ll interfere with anything later? I looked through the plans and it doesn’t seem so, but I don’t want a nasty surprise down stream. I attached a picture. The blue line is where it should have been trimmed.
