The next step after removing the protective tape from the ailerons (see step 16) was to apply small dabs of bondo between the hinge and aileron. I used some small pieces of foam rubber to hold the hinge up against the aileron while the bondo set. This was a somewhat frustrating procedure as the plans do not explain well how to do this. I actually tried to complete this step last week and I gave up for the night.
Next I unbolted the hinges from the wing, removed the aileron and drilled holes through the hinge for rivets.
After test fitting the aileron on the wing and removing it again, I temporarily installed control hardware. The hardware store machine screws will be replaced with AN hardware soon.
Pictured here is the universal joint that connects the torque tube to the aileron.
Pictured here is a more complete view of the aileron control hardware including the spherical bearing (blue).
Also in this photo, if you look close, you will see that I have yet to close up the end of the aileron with bid glass.
