One of the last things I have to do before I move onto the fuselage, is to drill the flap hinge to the wing.  Before I do that, I wanted to install the aileron on the wing to verify spacing and align the trailing edges of the aileron and flap so that they are straight. 

The print has you fabricate some upper and lower spacers to place between the aileron bracket and the rod end bearings.  It is some small tubing that Van's sent in the "little baggies" of parts that I have been wonder "what's this for".  I could see right away, my challenge making these things is cutting them straight while trying to hold on to them.  Band saw>  Off comes a finger??  I decided to try the more docile tubing cutter, but I still couldn't grab the little suckers to hold them.  Then I had a great thought>>>  I wonder if the drill chuck could hold it.  Sure enough, it grabbed them just fine.  This worked great and the tubing cutter will definitely cut them straight.

Along the theme of trying to hold onto these spacers, I was having a hard time lining up the little washers and spacers needed that make up the aileron pushrod assembly.  Then I remember I bought some washer wrenches just for this purpose.  I got these from Cleaveland Tools for a couple of bucks (about $37 of them).  There are about four of these things of different sizes which hold probably just about anything I will be using on the RV.  Needless to say, these things worked GREAT.  I was able to slip in washers in places that I couldn't get with any other tool in my toolbox.

These little washer wrenches worked well. Imagine trying to hold onto these washers with a needle nose pliers.  Probably not going to work all that well.

One thing I had with reference to Van's washer call outs on the Aileron pushrod assembly was that their washer callouts were good for an idea where to start, but they weren't even close to what fit in their correctly.  I had to just experiment a little (and yes, my spacers were cut to dimensions as called by the prints).

A picture to document the washers I ended up using to get a proper fit.  This is the outboard aileron assembly (left wing).

I have the bell crank jig Van's sends out attached to the pushrod assembly.  This is jig is supposed to place the bell crank assembly in a position where the aileron will be in its neutral (inline) position.

Just another angle on the aileron bellcrank jig.

This is a milestone for the wings....  This is the last parts to be primed for the wings.  YAHOOO....  Flap braces, aileron gap seal, inspection covers, and the servo brackets for the TruTrak roll servo.

I managed to talk Tami into helping rivet the flap brace.  Yes, this could have been done by one person, but it is so much easier with two people.  Anyway, we knocked riveting braces for both wings in about 45 minutes.

Now all I need to do is drill my flap hinge to the wing and that should wrap up the wings for now.
