Riveted a couple of the leading edge holes (closest and one in the middle) and checked the trailing edges. Looked good, so I re-riveted the whole aileron. Most of the holes were reamed out to a larger rivet size (4mm).
I managed to push down the top of the aileron skin at the leading edge... But, it still catches. I think this is a non-issue since I don't think the aileron deflects that much. I'm going to defer this for now until I find out from the factory how much the aileron deflects down.
But, by a miracle, the trailing edges line up perfectly!
Sanded the touch-ups I applied yesterday and it looks perfect.
Me in front of the right wing!
NEXT TASKS:
- Finish sanding rivets (OK, I have a few left to do) and put wing on shelf.
- Finish one of the composite tips of the elevator.
- Fill rivets of elevator.
- Rivet the one on the left wing's step rib that needs special handling.
- START ON FUSELAGE!
