Aileron Stiffeners

I finished trimming and deburring the aileron stiffeners.

I use a cheap $3 punch set from Harbor Freight to mark all parts before priming.  I don’t bother marking the actual part number, just something that helps me get all the parts back into the same position.  Here for example is the stiffener that goes on the right aileron, bottom side, 3rd out from the inboard stiffener.

All the stiffeners have been drilled to the skins…

…deburred, dimpled and primed.

Here’s a cool artistic shot of all of the rivets in the holes (held in place with rivet tape since I’ll be back-riveting these).  It’s too late to rivet these on tonight, so I’ll do that before work tomorrow.
