The Murphy Builders Site

I read the list postings every day, but don't post a whole lot. Keep talking
guys... you're more of a help to folks like me than you're probably aware!
Thanks!

Working the flaps and ailerons on Elite #678. The previous builder drilled an
extra row of holes through all four AIL-403's (where the instructions say "do
not drill these holes). The easiest thing to do would be to just dimple and
rivet (during final install) all the holes, but then if I ever have to take the
covers off it's almost twice the rivets to drill out.

My question is: what do you guys think of brazing these pieces to fill the
holes? It will eventually be painted, so I'm not concerned about a slight
discoloration. A slight weakening of the AIL-403 due to heat shouldn't be a
problem, I would think.

Alternatively, what do you think about just leaving the holes and using
sheetmetal screws instead of rivets in all the holes?

Thanks!
