Brief Description:  Aileron brackets; pitot line

Drilled and riveted remainder of W-414-L outboard aileron hinge bracket to spar. Drilled W-413-L inboard aileron hinge bracket to spar, then countersunk one hole and primed again. Primed rib under bracket contact point.

Removed W-421-L aileron bellcrank and W-823-L bellcrank bracket to gain more room. Marked and bent pitot tube around bellcrank. Fitted attach nut and flared inboard end of line. Installed 90-degree fitting on second inboard rib, and 45-degree fitting on rib inboard of pitot tube location.

(Had to remove fittings and re-flare tube because it was over-flared, and the nut would not fit around it.)
