Yes, did it right after I posted it on here. Decided I couldn't wait.
Basically, Scott said it wasn't a big deal. The flange on the main wing
spar doesn't provide much structural support--mainly an attach point for the
skins. He recommended I use a scotch-brite wheel and remove the "nip" . As
long as I retain the minimum edge clearance on the hole it's not a big deal.
That being said, I immediately went out and fixed it. Now all I need to do
is put a little primer over where I removed the alodine finish. There's a
spot along the rear edge of the spar flange now about 1/4" long and maybe
1/8" max depth where I ground it out and smoothed/cleaned it.
Another one of those WHEW!!! moments. What was I thinking??? Oh well, it's
fixed.
Thanks,
Bill

Looking at the pics it didn't look too deep. Glad Vans didn't see an issue with it. One suggestion would be to stop drill the gouge if it isn't all buffed out. You don't want a crack to develop which wraps around to the front of the spar.
