I'm doing several entries on 09-25, but they represent work that has taken place in little bursts over about the past week. I drilled out the remainder of the aft spar reinforcing bars without incident, but, while I was in there I decided to do the FWD spar doubler reinforcement SB. Was using my new rivet removal tool that's supposed to center the drill bit, but somehow I got off to one side and beat up the R/H fwd HS spar before I realized that it wasn't centered. It's not all the way through, but a -5 rivet won't clean it up. The word from vans is that if a -5 doesn't do the trick, that I should probably replace that spar. I unskinned the R/H of the HS & drilled the ribs apart in preparation for that & then took a couple of days to ponder how I wanted to proceed.

Ultimately decided that reusing flight critical parts like the spar reinforcing flanges etc. isn't worth it to me, and I'm not sure I 100% believe that new skins will fit the old ribs (ribs are cheap) so I think I'll just build a new H/S.
