11/11/2008 - Another day of bouncing around on various jobs.

The first place to start was on the left aileron as I had not managed to start that from the day before.  This was by far the biggest job of the day.  It took about 3 hours to do, but then there was 30 minutes of drilling out the rivets that I had put in for the end ribs.  I did not have to do this for the right aileron as I had read the instructions after doing the this one.  yes don't rivet the end ribs on or else you cant drive the top spar rivets in doh!

I decided the next jobs should be all the little things I need to sort out before I close up the wing; like hoover the wing out; double check everything, torque seal bolt heads....and oh yes replace the rivets that the inspector did not like.  The picture below shows that job already done and a lesson to me as it was quite awkward, 'get it right the first time'; I don't know how I would of drilled those out if I did not have the 12" long drills that you can bend into the right position to get an accurate hole in the centre of the rivet head.

As I needed to do some 'work..work' on the afternoon, I had about an hour to play with the fixtures that hold the ailerons onto the wing.  Best described as fiddly this bit;  and I would say half the time was spent picking washers up off the floor.  Bernard next door has sworn that gravity is higher in my garage than anywhere else in the world, and I am inclined to agree with him.

A few extra shots for good measure;  in the picture of the bellcrank, the unpainted silver plate is a jig holding the bellcrank in a neutral position and locks the bellcrank from moving...yes it will be removed before flight !

Ah now its time for the new James Bond movie
