01/05/2020 - Right aileron bracket - 2h

Started closing work on the right wing today. Just like on the left wings, I preventivly applied the service bulletin on the inner aileron attach brackets.

I had drilled and primed the parts earlier so now it's time to rivet the aileron bracket back on.

I had some issues with 1 rivet that I had to drill out twice. Came out with a bit smaller manuafactured head in the end due to the drilling but it still looks acceptable.

I guess it's one of those things to add to your annual inspection list.

After some vacuum cleaning, the right wing is now ready to receive it's bottom skin.

Since I have the experience of the left wing, I hope closing this one will go a bit faster.
