Finished Aileron Stiffeners

This is another example of where my best work will never be seen. The aileron stiffeners will be totally enclosed when the ailerons are finished. No one but me will know that every stiffener was carefully match drilled with every hole and edge deburred to remove any stress risers. All 32 of the stiffeners were marked for location and all the mating surfaces were cleaned and primed. You can see the beautifully flush rivets on the outside but you can't see all the carefully measured shop heads of the rivets on the inside. Oh well...at least I know.

Paula helped put the rivets in the holes and covered them with rivet tape and then taped the stiffeners in place...all the while watching football with me. Cowboys got whipped 45-7 by Green Bay. She said she should be nominated for the best wife ever. You are hereby nominated but you have to read this to find out.
