Time to get busy with the ailerons!

Digging out the close outs port side.

Practice makes smoother foam core surface to glass and mount hardware.

Placement of the AN2 plate with associated AN4-10 bolt and washer, FL13 spacer and AN316-4R nut with two layers of BID over it now. The hardware moved slightly during glassing and I was able to push it back. Note the generous flox corner under the leading edge.

Next come the aileron hinges. Here you see a mod suggested by Flightcrafters. Under the flange, I have glassed in a layer of carbon fiber to stiffen the hinge mounting. This later became a minor hitch. The small width of this extra layup at the corner where the flange meets the core prevented the hinge from fitting per the templates. After some discussion, we solve this problem by shaving the edge of the hinges a shade over a mm with the grinder. This still left more than 3 rivet diameters from the pop rivet centers to the edge.

So, here's a shaved and smoothed hinge being tested for fit where I cut back the flange for the hinge joint.

Another look at the trial fitting for the hinge before I started worrying about exact alignment of the pin axes.

Interestingly Russell and Bob had different methods to align the hinges. Either would have worked, but Russell's seemed more straightforward than Bob's and the manual's version

Hinge pin alignment confirmed, I now set up to match hole drill the flange from the rivet holes I had put in the hinge.
