I bought a drill extension from Sears that fit perfectly with the countersinker. That enabled me to better countersink the holes on the aileron brackets. The brackets are ready for some touch-up primer and then I’ll attach them to the wings.
I then moved on to the aileron push rods, getting out all of the parts and figuring out how they go together. I cut the rod stock into two pieces with a hack saw (not going to ruin another band saw blade on steel) and cleaned up the ends with the grinding wheel and Scotchbrite wheel. I bought a centering jig for drilling round stock a while back. I got that out and started to figure out how to use that to drill the rivet holes in the ends of the rods.
The weather has not been cooperating lately for some outdoor priming. It’s been very windy, rainy, and cold. I have a bunch of stuff waiting to be primed. This weekend it’s supposed to improve. I guess I’ll have to eventually set up the indoor priming booth again. Bummer.
