Brackets and aileron trailing edge
I riveted on a few more brackets to the rear spar. I only have the middle flap bracket to do next.
Next I took the aileron off the table and riveted the trailing edge. It came out pretty good but a few places have too much proseal. Overall, pretty happy with it. I need to get the other aileron or flap curing on the table.
Builder Tip: Use -3.5 rivets instead of the called for -3's. The little extra material fills the dimple better. Should have done this on the rudder too.
(Time: 2 hours)
