More aileron and wing spar work
Tonight I installed the doublers for the hinges on the wing and aileron spars. I also got the corner braces done on the aileron. The spar splices now have the plywood doublers installed as well.
I had the aileron turned around on the table when I started gluing parts. Since I didn't notice it was flipped, I installed one set of hinge doublers on the wrong end. Not a big mistake, but annoying none the less. The next work on the ailerons will be to install the missing hinge doubler and the remaining trailing edge plywood strip. At that point, I can install the hinges and start working out some other details for the cove supports. Getting closer to having one wing done. The other wings should go pretty fast, since I can skip the head scratching part.
