Left fuel tank was attached to the left wing. Also able to finish the left aileron actuation. Little faster on this wing because there’s no autopilot servo to adjust like the right wing.
Little glare in this shot, but you can see how the flap is used to define the neutral position of the aileron.
Right aileron bellcrank. Somehow I got lucky on this side as the belcrank to aileron pushrod was the perfect length for neutral. Nice, no rod end bearings to adjust.

Finished the aileron actuation on the right wing. Pretty straight forward. Find neutral position and adjust rod end bearings.
This is a shot of the torque tube to aileron pushrod assembly at the wing root.
Wider shot of the entire aseembly. Neutral position for the aileron is defined by temporarily attaching the flap, bottoming it out, and clamping the aileron to it in the same position.

Attached the ailerons to the wings. Not much to this. A bit of a bear getting some of the washers in, but not too bad.
This is the outboard attach bracket. Everything went fine here. Clearance is good all around.
Here’s a shot of the pushrod running up from the bellcrank to the aileron on the inboard side.
This is the inboard attach bracket. I had a little bit of a clearance issue here with the bracket hitting a rivet when swinging through. Just filed off a little but if the rivet and it’s good.

Thanks to Deems for dropping by for a quick rivet session. The outboard leading edges are now completely attached.
Started the aileron actuation components. First up was the main aileron pushrods. Same task as for the elevator pushrod.

Next up was the aileron pushrods. These extend from the bellcrank to the ailerons.
These are the aileron torque tubes. These are at the root of the wing. The main pushrod attaches to these.
