We are prepping the ailerons for covering. We learned a few things from covering the flaps, and are taking advantage of that knowledge. We drilled a few new holes for fabric rivets because we knew (based on experience with the flaps), that a few of the holes were going to cause rivets on opposite sides to interfere with each other. We smoothed the edges around the new holes, and applied a little extra varnish to seal the wood in those spots.
While doing this work, we discovered something interesting. There was a tiny little flying creature embedded in the cured fiberglass on one of the ailerons. Looks like a small wasp. He will forever be a part of our flying machine. Hours: 1.0
