Brief Description:  Drilled out rivet and primed rear spar.

Tonight I drilled out the bad rivet with a "Smiley" that Donnie pointed out to me a few weeks ago. This process involves drilling out the manufactured head and using a punch to break it off. The rivet is then tapped out with a punch from the shop head end. I didn't enlarge the hole, so I was able to use the same size rivet for the replacement. Turned out good. After that I touched up the primer on the rear spar and took some pictures of the other finished parts.
