Title: Right aileron nose caught up and stiffeners cut
I repeated all of yesterday's work to assemble the aileron nose and drill the aileron counterweight tube on the right aileron, so now both the left and right sides are caught up to each other. This time things went a little more quickly because I knew what to expect when doing all of the drilling and how to temporarily remove the rib while marking the hole positions. The other big progress I made was possible after I received an installed a new blade for my band saw. This finer tooth-pitch blade (62" x 1/8" x 14 TPI) is also narrower and allows for easier turns to be made. In any case, this allowed me to finish cutting all of the rib stiffeners from the angle stock that was supplied. I also scuffed all of these stiffeners with the scotch-brite pad, and buffed all of the rough edges with the scotch-brite wheel on the bench grinder. What's next? All of these rib stiffeners will now need to be painted with primer. Then all of the aileron skins will need to be scuffed, edge-rolled, dimpled, and primed as well.
