Fitting the aileron brackets - 2 hours

Not a huge day, but I managed to fit up the aileron hinge brackets. It was fairly easy to figure out the correct parts, but it took a bit of head scratching to figure out where exactly the flush rivet heads go. Of course I was warned out some confusion when reading some of the gotchas on the forums. I think I psych'd myself out a bit with the forums. But in the end, if you read the plans and CAREFULLY read the small plans addendum that van's gives you on the hinge, then it all falls into place.



Once I had everything marked out, I cleaned off all the shear marks. I also cut up the aileron hinge stiffener and cleaned up the edges. Since I had the bandsaw out, I cut up the aileron stiffeners and cut up the rough shape.
