If I under stand your problem correctly, you can use "oops" rivets (AD4 size shank and AD3 size head).  Lots of sources, including Avery and I think Van's has them in the catalog now.

 Somehow when I read "Drill all rib attach holes to #30" I drilled the holes

 on top of the flange of HS-702 (that connect HS-708) too.  My skin

 (HS-601PP) is drilled to #40.  The plan says use a "AN26AD3-4 to HS-601PP to

 HS-702 to HS708"  This can't be right!  Any suggestions on how I can fix

 this dilemma?

 

 Thanks in advance.

Aren't the HS-702 flanges dimpled? (I hate the numbers on the 

instructions with no name; I've got really short memory with part #'s.) 

Assuming adequate edge distance & dimples on everything, the simplest 

thing to do is drill the skin #30, dimple, & use an426ad4-4 rivets. Buck 

carefully on the thin skin, but it should work fine; some of the older 

designs use ad4's for skins.

David,

Just rivet it up with 4-4s. Work carefully and you will be fine. I have 

a second hand RV-7 empanage kit and the whole Vertical stab was drilled 

with #30. I took my time and only had to drill out a couple.

A new builder myself, I have found it very useful to read through the steps several times before committing a drill to anything. Analyzing the drawings over and over as well. As a rule of thumb, skin attachments are USUALLY drilled to #40 (unless otherwise specified). If you are not 100% sure about something, re-read the step while looking closely at the plans over and over until you convince yourself that you ARE 100% sure what you are about to do is correct. If you still are not sure, ask for help BEFORE drilling. It will save you time and $ later on down the line.
