Hi Steve.

Sorry about the pilot hole, it should have read - drill a very shallow pilot hole using the same size bit as for the rigging.

Hi Bob.

There is no way I would torture my mono and put it through right angle bends, When I said I have on rare occasions drill at right angles to the wing then bent the mono to the desired angle, the max I would go is probably no greater than 45 degrees. At this angle there is no added stress to the mono or the CA. (I've never had a failure due to the mono having a 45 bend).

Cheers

Des.
