Brief Description:  Attach aileron hardward

So, I thought this would an hour, but the pain in the ass tight clearances to reach the nuts and bolts made this a 3 hour journey. There are two hinges, one at each end. To reach the bolt heads in the outboard hinge (they are recessed in the U groove of the hinge and have barely any room), I had to grind flats on either side of a 3/8" socket. Then a combination of extensions and adapter allowed for tightening the nuts and torqueing to their final value of 25 inch/pounds (plus 5 for the drag on the nylock nut, which I can measure since I used the beam type wrench). A bit of paint seal (orange stuff in the pics) was applied to ensure to loosening upon inspections. The ailerons were attached to the wings. Tip - to get those pesky washers slipped into tight spaces, attach a part of the washer to a piece of tape and lower it in - a pic is in tomorrow's writeup. Another tip - don't attach the ailerons yet - I didn't read ahead far enough, and the instructions will have you do them when the flaps are done. I couldn't resist!
