While finishing up section 16, I managed to smear one the last 1/8" rivet. I decided to drill it out and replace it, which went as planned. Driving the second rivet, I clinched the tail and now HAD drill out the rivet again.
As the story goes the hole became oblong in the W-1014 aileron hinge bracket assembly only and none of the other sandwhiched layers.
I then decided to upsize the hole to 5/32 to get rid of the oblong hole. Now, the problem is that I am 1/16" short on edge distance. Is 1/16" that critical or should I rebuild the hinge bracket assembly?
