While assembling the wing skeleton of my RV-9A I was riveting the number two rib from the wing root to the rear spar/W907B/W907C doubler plates. Of course, this rivet toppled over in grand style and I had to drill it out (hindsight 20/20 I should've left the little bugger but I didn't and now I have an even bigger mess to fix
1.) Can this be repaired in a structurally sound manner?
2.) If so, HOW?
3.) Should I bite the bullet and replace the rear spar/rib and doublers? (If this is the case I have a lot of rivets to drill out).
