Primed ailerons. Started riveting
27 Dec 2016 6.5 hours

This morning I started the day off priming the aileron parts. During the cleaning process I noticed I countersunk the wrong side of one of the brackets. So I had to fabricate a new one from scratch. Luckily I had a some material on hand. I used the original as a template and it came out great. In afternoon I started riveting some of the parts and countersunk the trailing edge. Tomorrow I should be able to finish riveting everything together.
