Probably a dumb question, but I wouldn't want to disappoint my friends. I have a 1/8" hole in a longeron that I no longer need due to change of plans. It would certainly look better if it had a rivet in it, but with the curvature of the rear fuselage skin this is not an easy slam dunk operation. Its not in one of those places where it will stick out like a big "DOH!" sign. At the same time, I don't like anything weakening the structural integrity and especially if its not doing anything beneficial.
So, will driving a rivet do anything to restore part of the lost strength in this longeron?
