Wings, Ailerons (Part 21)

In Part 20, I prepared several parts and pieces for the Right Aileron.....separated parts, deburred holes, cleaned the edges, and dimpled and/or countersunk the appropriate holes.....

During today’s session, I treated those parts with Alumiprep, Alodine, and Akzo prime.  Below are all the completed parts.  Shown below:

1.  Top and Bottom Skins (with trailing edge not primed for the V-Channel)
2.  A-710 Stiffeners (x16)
3.  A-1006-1B and -1A Outboard Hinge Brackets
4.  A-1007-1A and -1B and -1C Inboard Hinge Brackets
5.  A-1008-1 Doubler
6.  A-1004-1 Nose Ribs (x2)
7.  A-1015-1L Nose Rib
8.  A-1005A-1L and -1R Main Ribs
9.  A-1005B-1L and -1R Main Ribs

Shown below is the new Nose Skin I ordered from Van’s for the Right Aileron (still with blue protective plastic) and the Aileron Counterbalance (I was able to jack from the previous Aileron I messed up)!

Lastly, here is the Spar for the Right Aileron.....all prepped, cleaned and treated with Alumiprep and Alodine.  It is now ready for Akzo prime.
