I misaligned some holes while drilling and ended with extra holes and one double-hole in the HS-710 and HS-714(aluminum angle stiffeners) and HS-702 (front spar). I chose to build on and finished it 6 months ago. Now looking back I'm concerned bacause those are structural pieces.
I don't think I can go back and redo the angle stiffeners and front spar without completely disassembling the whole thing, and ruining it all.
My question is: can I just buy another HS-710 and rivet it between the HS-710 and HS-714 and REALLY strengthen everything-having 3 angle stiffeners instead of 2. Using regular rivets where I can reach and pop rivet where I can't reach.
I'm thinking this would certainly reinforce everything as long as it doesn't interfere with mounting the tail on the fuselage.
