Manual Reference:  Ailerons, flaps
Brief Description:  Aileron gap fairings & flap braces, part 3

Riveting the aileron gap fairings was straight forward. I had plenty of clearance for the pneumatic squeezer. I just had to pay attention to the rivet callouts to use the right rivet.

The flap brace took more effort. It mates against the spar far lower from the edge, so I had to manually buck the rivets in the area still exposed by the not-yet-installed lower skin. The rest required pop rivets since those skins are already installed. Far easier, and actually likes nice.

With these installed, it's time to finish the partially-assembled ailerons and flaps and install them to the wing.
