Brief Description:  Flap hinge; aileron attachments

Removed the center hinge eye from the "flap" side of the flap hinge. Used a cutoff disc in the Dremel tool, followed by a 1/2" sanding drum, with tape to protect the skin and hinge. Filed and sanded the edge. I'll remove two hinge eyes from the "wing" side of the new hinge when it arrives.

Torqued the aileron attach bolts and nuts, now that I have a bar-type in/lb torque wrench that reads down to the low inch/pound values I need.
