Brief Description:  Rivet right LE to main spar; aileron brackets

Finished right LE rivets. Countersunk right wing main spar rivet holes where the LE goes, plus the main skins below those, plus one more beyond the inboard edge of the LE where main skins will go below the tank. Placed LE on the spar and clecoed every hole. Used combination or bucking and squeezing to rivet the four most outboard LE ribs to the spar.

The inboard ribs will be a huge PITA to buck. SoCAL RV list and Checkoway's site say that LP4-3 and LP4-4 pull rivets are OK to substitute--I'll do that.

Went ahead and riveted the LE skin to the main spar.

Pulled out all of the aileron bracket HW and smoothed the edges: Clecoed the brackets that hold the bearings together and used the belt sander to get the same edge on both pcs.
