Aileron brackets and gap seal installed: 7 hours

I got the outboard aileron bracket parts prepped and primed. While that was drying I worked on prepping the gap seal. When everything was dry I got it all riveted on. It went very well. I only used the rivet gun on a few spots I couldn't reach with the hand squeezer.

 

Duct tape is essential! (Keeps the long rivet set from rotating and reduces scratches)
