November 27, 2004 - Aileron

 

The aileron is similar to the elevator.  First you have to fashion all the stiffeners.  Then you cleco them to the skin and match drill them.  That's what I'm doing here.
After match drilling, deburring, and devinyling, it's time to back rivet the stiffeners to the skin. No big deal.  We've been there a few times before. 
Here I'm match drilling the inboard spar reinforcer and aileron attach bracket to the spar.
Now I'm match drilling the outboard spar reinforcer and nose rib to the spar.
The aileron spar and rib structure all clecoed together.
