The stars aligned. Between the weather and my schedule I was finally able to get a few parts primed the other day.
With that said, I jumped back to working on my ailerons. I being to assemble the Inboard and Outboard hinge brackets and realize I need to find the MS21055-L3 nutplate. This is a corner nut-plate and you only have 2 of them. Did I ever mention you need to have your parts organized? Honestly I thought I did a good job of this, but still took me way longer than it should have to find these nutplates.
Once located, I rivet the hings brackets together and then can try to final drill the counterbalance. The drawings mention that you may have to use a screwdriver bit using a pair of pliers. I actually try to do this only to get frustrated. Finally have a lightbulb moment and realize I can just uncleco the hinge brackets from the spar to tighten these screws. SO much easier!.
Flip that aileron over, install the nose skin, and match drill the holes into the counterbalance. I then go to the other Aileron where I hadn’t drilled any holes in the counterbalance yet, and I begin to get that counterbalance drilled and marked for where it attaches to the hinge brackets. Ran out of “free time” and had to put it away.
