 *The 5/16 hole match drilling can be done using a 5/16 to 1/4 inch drill bushing or a short piece of aluminum tube with 5/16 OD and 1/4 ID. With it, drill a 1/4 inch hole from the inside to the outside using an angle drill attachment. Then use a unibit step drill and widen the hole from the underside of the fuselage from 1/4 to 5/16. Finally file a bit from the inside to ensure the hole matches all the way around the circumference.
