I was concerned about edge distance on a rib flange as I was drilling through the nose ski on the (CH601-HD) centre wing.
Unable to see the flange without disassembling the work in progress, I thought about different possibilities.
I could reach the spot through the lightening holes and feel the area with my fingers, but that wasn't enough.
A digital photo would also not be precise enough to reassure me.
So I thought of using an old trick: to make an impression with play-doh.
But, nuts!, I was fresh out of play-doh.
So I resorted to ...bread!
Se attached photo. Thirteen mm between hole centre and flange edge.
Great tool, versatile, cheap, and you can eat it when the work is done.
Cheers
Carlos
