Brief Description:  Aileron continued #3 (left)

Worked on cleco'ing and match drilling the skin, counterbalance, and leading edge on the left aileron. Worked out pretty good and didn't have too much deformation from the leading edge buckling the aileron and causing it to not lay flat. I actually worked the leading edge by hand just a little before clecoing it together, plus I have riveted the nose ribs on already (misstake) and it is stiffer. Along those lines I had to drill out the bottom rivet in each nose rib (2 per aileron) to access the nose rib-to-counterbalance hole that needed to be drilled. Oh well. Everything went smooth and I made reasonable progress today.

Not enough bowing to cause concern and this will be different when riveted anyway.
