I started building the HS and have gotten through most of it but have made a number of mistakes along the way. I have the parts all cut, deburred dimpled and the spars riveted with everything else ready to go for final assembly but I succeeded at damaging one of the foreward skins, put a few bad dents into the rear spar and have serious edge clearence issues on one of the ribs.
My quesions is: if the parts are all already dimpled, how do I go about re-doing the affected parts? In the case of the rear spar, I used a #40 reamer instead of a #40 drill and I don't see any stacking tolerance issues if I were to just ream all the attachment holes on a replacement without the skin present assuming Vans' hole positioning is relatively precise, but maybe I'm wrong? Alternatively, I've done enough of the other parts at this point that I feel like I could probably get back to where I am right now on a whole new HS within a week or so, so should I just order a new one entirely?
Thanks!
