FYI:
RV-9A N209RV made its first flight on June 4th!  Only problem identified
was a slightly heavy left wing.  It took 1 bar on the trim indicator to
get it flying hands-off.  We now have 1.5 hours on the hobs meter and
can't get the RV grin off our faces.

Thank you all for your help!  I think I will do a compromise - I'll drill
out and install backing plates on the front spar that is already riveted in
the skin.  And I'll just replace the back spar since it is not yet riveted
in.  Of course, if I bugger up the front spar/skin drilling out the rivets I
may have a "do-over" on my hands, but as has been said, this is a big
project.  While I'm waiting for parts, I'm moving on to the vertical
stabalizer anyay.

Thanks again,

Bob
