Still waiting for the outer attachment bracket but I finished riveting up the replacement aileron and torqued the inboard bracket nuts to 30 inch lbs. Double checked the measurement from the tooling hole centerline to the 3/16 attach hole centerline (upside down in image #3.). 1 5/8 inches exactly, right on plan. Then, I installed remainder of electric aileron trim cover nut plates on the left aileron and finished installing the cover over the servo opening. I need to make 5 wire connections to the servo and shrink seal them before running the wiring under the outer aileron bracket and then up tight to the outer end rib. I will put a connector in place there and route the wiring into the conduit. Haven't decided on what type of electrical connection to make at the wing root/fuselage connection yet. I am leaning towards permanent splices with extra wiring looped and secured in the event I ever need to take the wing off after done. One experienced builder I respect says make permanent splices and forget about trying to make nice connectors. Leave enough looped wire to cut and resplice if ever needed. We'll see.
