Ok, so I went and looked at the plans for the long fuselage, which I am building, and it clearly states to put the fitting on the 3/4"x3" block behind the upright. Note to self, look at the plans don't just assume. I'm ok with putting it there. I guess. The question is why doesn't the front one also move back too? The lower ends will now be something like 29-1/2" apart when the wing spars are 28-3/4" apart. I know not much of a difference but it's killing me that I must be missing something here. I would think any one installing it on upright would have to trim the front headrest.Ok so now I know where to install the fitting how the heck do I drill the hole perpendicular to the side of the fuselage. I have tried to drill a strait hole through a block of wood to use as a guide but all I accomplished all day was to find out I cant do it on my small drill press accurately enough.The only good thing to come from today's labor was a net way to collect the dust off my table saw.Man am I stressing out or what. I hate drilling holes. There so final. Can't wait to start stressing out about drilling holes for the landing gear fittings.AAArrrrrrrggggggggg going to bed.Chris TracySacramento, Ca ________________________________________________________________________________
