How do you drill the lift strut tangs from 5/16 to 7/16 without messing them up?
eddieMay 28, 2019 · Edited: May 28, 2019Hi Darrell,We have been using 12" long drill bits for this, we use a 3/8" first and follow with the 7/16". This gives adequate clearance with the fuselage. I've attached a couple of pictures. Let me know if this helps.

Our standard DeWalt and Ryobi drills work well with plenty of clearance.
