Unlike the last step, there wasn't much to this one. Essentially the step was to cleco all the aileron parts and assemblies together in preparation for final drilling and trimming the trailing edge wedge in the next step. With the exception of the closely spaced inboard and outboard holes, none of the spar and associated skin holes have been dimpled yet. That also occurs in the next step. The ribs, skins, and spars took just a little coaxing to get everything in place, but eventually came together without any major issues. The only surprise for me was the gap between the nose rib and main rib hinge brackets. In my mind those were much closer together, but I held the aileron next to the hinge brackets on the wing and things appear to line up just fine.
