Brief Description:  Aileron brackets #4

Riveted the left wing outboard aileron bracket together this morning. I also had to tweek the outboard rib to keep the bracket from being slighly canted inboard. I'm not sure how much it will help. I test fitted the bracket onto the rear spar and it still tends to "lean" alittle. I think I have it very close though. I also found that I didn't counter sink a hole in the angle piece that goes on the bracket - these darn things are full of suprises. After being automous from the plans for the last several months, this is getting me back to paying more attention to the fine print! I riveted the bracket to the rib and ran out of time to get the bracket riveted to the rear spar (outboard bracket).
