I purchased a complete empenage kit. I have been going through fixing what the builder mentioned and going through the steps to make sure everything was completed per the plans. So far everything has been awesome, the builder did a great job.
I have one question about a rivet I'm not sure if I need to fix it or not and if so if a blind rivet will do? It appears the dimpling process was slightly off.
Please see attached pictures and let me know if I can use a pop rivet or if I need to drill out all the rivets and remove the skin and redo the rivet. I found this rivet on a finished elevator. The rivet is located on the bottom of the elevator.
