Work continues on the covering of the two ailerons. We installed fabric rivets on both the top and bottom surfaces. But before installing the rivets, with put reinforcing tape on the aileron rib caps and then burned the holes with a hot soldering iron. Once the holes were cleared with installed the rivets.
As we did on the flaps we installed the reinforcing fabric "dollies" on the fabric plates. There were a total of three on the bottom surface and one on the top top surface. The same procedure was used on the aileron as was used on the flaps.
Finally, we added three coats of adhesive on the top and bottom surfaces where we plan to install fabric tapes over the the ribs/rivets. Hours: 4
