Switching focus back to the right aileron for a little bit, I started by finally removing the protective blue vinyl plastic from the nose skin, deburring the holes, scuffing up areas that I would prime, and then finally spraying on some primer on those interior rivet line areas.

Since I found it difficult to use the air riveter where trailing ribs connect to the left aileron spar, I decided to try the hand squeezer on them while the spar is still unconnected to anything else (the normal order is to back-rivet the trailing ribs to the skins, and then rivet the skins+ribs to the spar). This seemed to work out well and I got some really nice shop heads on these ribs.

Once the primer on the nose skin had dried for a few minutes, I started riveting the nose ribs and counter-weight to the nose skin. I was able to do all of these rivets with just the hand squeezer and hand rivet puller, except for one rivet that needed the air rivet gun. There was still air pressure from the day before, so I didn't even need to turn on the compressor for that.

What's next? I couldn't really proceed with anything else until I receive the replacement hinge brackets from Vans, which should arrive on Tuesday, so I'll set the ailerons to the side and start working on the actual wings next.
