Brief Description:  Riveting the left aileron hinge (left)

I spent a while sorting out the rivet drill pattens and drilling them out, checking the sizes and so on. I like a number #30 drill for 1/8" but start at 1/16" and go up.

Next up was poping off the hinges as you see in pic1. You might note there wasn't that much 5 mt glue and it did the job. Pic 2 shows it all cleaned up and the surfaces dulled. I mixed some pure epoxy and coated the parts after a good clean. Then added flox per plans and secured them in place with MSP-43 cherry rivets. (Pic 3) Oh yeah, you can see the aileron rib in this shot as well. Thats just a bit of tape protecting the A10 tube for now.

I'll recheck that things are in line tomorrow and then I can move on to replacing the clicos with click bonds... or I might just start on the other aileron. Guess its my call.
