The rear aileron ribs were installed with clecos. I had to countersink the two holes in the spar so flat head rivets could be installed.

Rivets were installed along the top of the of the skin. I used the squeezer for all the holes except the aft 2. I’ll have to get in there with a bucking bar. IMG_7839

To ensure the aileron is flat during assembly, I weighed down the trailing edge. IMG_7842

Rivets were installed along the bottom surface of the forward ribs. IMG_7843

I closed out the bottom side of the aileron using blind rivets. IMG_7848
