Assembled aileron brackets
Finished putting in the screws that attach the left fuel tank to the wing. The tank skin is pillowing very slightly. I might try to fix that later by re-dimpling the skin or countersinking the spar flange a little more. Adele helped by putting Boelube on the screws for me. She loves helping on the plane.
I worked on the aileron brackets. I didn’t realize that some of the rivets are flush. I got out the countersink and went to work. They turned out pretty good, but still not perfect. I wish I could get repeatable results with that thing.
I then squeezed all of the rivets holding the bracket parts together. Looking at Dan’s site, it looks like these things used to come pre-assembled. I guess now we get the pleasure of putting them together ourselves. Had to use the mighty long -11 rivets. The brackets feel rock solid and look very cool.
