Horizontal Stab got dropped and damaged the leading edge beyond repair. Two ways to fix:
- Start all over and completely rebuild with all new parts, or
- Drill out all rivets, and disassemble the structure as necessary, then redo with new skins.
If I do the second option, any concerns with the structure being weakened after drilling out all those rivets? I’m pretty good at drilling out rivets, but some holes are going to wind up slightly bigger.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
