From reading the forum, it is my understanding that there are some custom drill bits that can be borrowed when the time comes to rig the wings.
I am at that step now, but at this moment I don’t know where to look.

I had a custom drill bushing for rigging, but have lost track of it. I think it has done at least 3 airplanes. Requires you to drill and ream the spare together though. That was done on a drill press, with spars only.

What size bits are you looking for? I have some for loan if they are the right size.

Steve here again…
I was refering to pilot drill bits that Jeff Shultz mentions on his build web site http://www.sonex604.com/.
He mentions Hugh Beckman maintains them.
