Finished aileron brackets, gap seal, started aileron: 4.6 hours

I used the rivet gun to do the remaining bracket to spar rivets. Then I riveted the outboard bracket to the wing rib using the squeezer and gun. Definitely some tricky riveting. I had to redo one rivet.

Next I attached the aileron gap seal to the rear spar using the hand squeezer. It worked great and gave me an arm workout! I then riveted the gap seal to the wing skin using the pneumatic squeezer.

Finally I organized all the parts for the left aileron and started match drilling the aileron pieces.
