Brief Description:  Small Aileron Pushrods, Countersunk Left Flap Brac

My squeezer arrived in the mail today as did my Whelen strobes installation kit. Mr. Avery did a great job on the squeezer as it looks and feels like brand new!

There was a thread on VAF today about how badly constructing the smaller aileron pushrods sucks. I tried to follow the suggestions (shorten the rivets, use a squeezer) but the rivets still clubbed over. I sent a pic to my tech counselor who advised to build on but be more careful in the future. I need to pick up some more primer tomorrow so I can get these things primed and installed.

I clamped a straight-edge to the flap brace and used the squeezer to "undimple" the holes. This is what I was doing when my squeezer quit two weeks ago. I flattened all of the dimples and the flap braces look ok.

I removed the wing portion of the left flap hinge and clecoed it to the flap brace and countersunk the holes in the brace. After priming, they will be ready to go.
