Brand new builder here. I just started on the horizontal stabilizer and I'm bucking my first rivets into something other than a practice kit. The rivet shown below is sticking up more than I'd like. I can catch my fingernail on it. The shop head looks fine. Should I drill this rivet out so it sits flush in the dimple? Like everyone else, I want my airplane to be perfect but my concern is making things worse by drilling it out. I have good luck drilling out universal rivets with my rivet removal tool. Flush rivets? Not so much. Not bad, just not as clean as removing universal rivets.
Thoughts?
