Hours Today: 1.8 Project Total: 658.6



(21-2 step 2):  Switching back over to the ailerons for a bit (fits our schedule a bit better)… I clecoed the nose ribs, spacers and doublers on the aileron spars.  Then the #30 holes were final drilled.

(21-2 step 3):  Next up I deburred the edges of the aileron skins, and then clecoed it to the lower flange of the spars.  Before clecoing the rest in place I needed to debur the counterbalance tubes.  These are stainless steel tubes that fit in the nose of the ailerons as you can see, but only span about 2/3 of the full width.

Once the counterbalances are in, the skins got clecoed in place.  This is one of those jobs that goes a bit easier with two people so I had Angela come out and give a quick hand.  Once a few clecoes were in the rest were relatively easy.  There, ready to drill!  I'll do that next time.
