Wings

Aileron Actuation ( 4 hrs )

Used Template and Center Punch to designate 6 holes at ends of each tube.  Included VA-111 Threaded Rod End in place (4x) so would be drilled simultaneously.  Drilled #40 followed by #30 using clecos to hold positions.  Deburred, cleaned with acetone, and primed.   Taped over alignment marks to enable correct re-assembly.   Plan touch up at those small areas with primer after riveting.
Used rod end bearing as "handles" to install rod ends.

 

Ready to rivet, then touch up label zones.
