Rib Drilling Update

I was able to get the Dremel 90 degree attachment and drill chuck.  Recommendations from the CX4 User Group gave me this option for drilling rib holes to vertical angles on the wing spar.  I tried to drill using my on speed Dremel tool that turns at about 30,000 RPM.  That is a little fast and hard to control the drill.  Hit the switch on the Dremel tool and it immediately whirls up to that high RPM leaving no room for error when starting to drill.  So, I have to either get a variable speed Dremel tool or borrow one.  Given the price of almost $80 for a variable speed Dremel it makes more sense to borrow one.  More delays...

Here is the 90 degree attachment from Dremel:

Just contacted my Son.  He has a variable speed Dremel tool!  YES!  Maybe we can get drilling this weekend.  I will update then.

Thanks for checking n -
