drilling angles and strut attach

Drilled all of the attach angles and match drilled the strut attach steel to the spar.  Cut the spar web flange to allow the strut attach to clear.

I placed a rivet on the lower capstrip too close to where the strut attach steel lays and had to add a slight chamfer to the steel strut attach to clear the manufactured head of the -5 rivet.  I thought about replacing the rivet with a flush rivet, but after calling Bob Barrows to discuss the issue, he suggested chamfering would be easier and present no structural issue.
