Brief Description:  

Today was spent reinforcing the aileron spar. First I added the micro fillet to the forward part of the spar, waited an hour or so for that to cure a bit, then added the 2 bid reinforcement to the forward spar. Then I added a two bid reinforcement to the aft portion of the spar, and additional 4 bid reinforcement to the hinge and actuator arm mounting areas. This seems like pretty simple stuff, and it is, but it takes me a lot of time to prepare all surfaces properly, cut the bid, wet out the bid, etc., etc. I'm just not fast at this work.

After that was completed, I laid up a 6 bid piece to make nut plate mounts, in case I find that riveting nutplates to the spars is just too difficult, given the very small area to work in, and the angle of the aileron skin. We'll see how that works tomorrow.
