Section 15: Rear Spar — Complete!

This includes work on both Saturday and Sunday.

Finally, the inboard aileron brackets are attached to the rear wing spars.This last amount of work fixes a couple of mistakes from misreading plans and the fact that my printed plans were out of date.

Mistake #1 — I had countersunk the wrong side of the angle aluminum on the aileron brackets. Might not have been a factor but I decided to replace. I countersunk the side that the rivet callouts were in the SB version of the plans. That was the wrong side, I later learned when going back through the fine-print.

This has been clarified in the latest digital plans, where it clearly indicates which side to countersink.

Then, mistake #2 is that I riveted on the brackets with out a couple of doublers. My printed plans do not call the doublers out, but of course the updated digital plans do. So I carefully removed the rivets successfully, and reinstalled with the doubler brackets.

Anyway, it’s finally done.
