Brief Description:  Bell Crank/Spar Tip Complete, Start Rear Channel

Reassembled and riveted the aileron bellcrank assemblies onto the left & right RR#7s. Reattached the L angle to the left & right spar tips and riveted them in place. Moved a bunch of stuff back up the stairs to the garage.

In the garage, I laid out the left and right rear channels and labeled them (top, bottom, front, rear, inboard, outboard, the usual drill). The rear channel runs along the back of the wing attaching to the aft end of the rear ribs. It also is where the flaps and ailerons are attached. I divided the rear channel sub-components between left and right rear channels (root doubler, rear channel doubler, channel angle and aileron rod hole doubler), labeled them, and set the right rear channel and its subcomponents back on the shelves.

I began by clamping and drilling out the channel angle for the inboard half of the channel. The channel itsef is pre-drilled for A5 rivets, so it's pretty quick work to line up, clamp, and drill out the pieces.
