Page 14-3 step 5.  Tonight I was riveting the  W-1025B-R Flap hinge rib and W-1025A Flap hinge bracket to one of the W-1011-L  inboard wing ribs and my rivet gun slipped.  Bottom line is that I  "smilied" the flap hinge rib a little bit below one of the rivets.  I'll  attach pictures for details.  Is there enough strength in the rest of the  rib/rivets to leave it alone or do I need to fix it???  If I need to fix it  could I cut a doubler to go over the damaged hole and to the rivets surrounding  the damaged hole???

  

 Also, while I'm at it, I'm only building the left  wing so far as I go.  When I go back to the right wing are all of the wing  ribs the same as the instructions say for the left wing or  do I put a -R rib where a -L rib is shown in the instructions?  I  know--clear as mud, right?.  I remember some discussion about this subject  a few years ago and don't remember the answers.

  

 Thanks

Bill,



That doesn't look too bad, I'd probably just leave it, unless you see

that it really went deep into that rib.  But it really doesn't look

worth worrying about.  If you did do a doubler, you'd want to do one

that covered a bunch more area, so you'd probably end up removing

at least a couple more rivets.



For building those wings, you may find it goes quicker to do them

together if you have space.  Plus, you can compare parts and make

sure that both sides look like their respective drawings.  Just

pay attention to how the ribs are placed in the drawings and you'll

do fine there too.

If only my mistakes were so minor.     Think of the ribs as those that face inward and those that face outward. Same for both wings.

In answer to your last question, unless there is a specific reason for a 

design difference in the other wing, standard aircraft drawing convention is 

"Left Hand Shown, Right Hand Opposite", or saying it another way, the wings 

are mirror images of each other. Any differences should be shown as separate 

detail drawings.  A perfect example of that  is the flap actuator only in 

the right wing of the Cessna single engine fleet .
