Brief Description:  Aileron Mounting Brackets

I poured over the plans...
I found that I riveted the aileron hinges with the countersink on the wrong side.

Instead of drilling everything out and possibly causing an issue.
I mounted the hinge points and checked the clearance of the shop heads for the ailerons.
I drilled one rivet out, and replaced it with a double countersink, flush on both sides.
I have not used that technique since the airlines but it worked great and I am pleased with the results.

So long story short... I replaced one rivet... instead of a dozen.
I also noticed that in the kit I had (2) right side aileron hinge points A-407-R, although it was labeled A-407-L... no problem, called Van's and they are shipping me the correct part.
