Aileron hinge installation

I spent some time today getting the hinges installed on the first aileron. It went pretty well until I drilled the holes for the center hinge wrong on the aileron spar. I plugged the bad holes with epoxy and some 3/16" dowel. Now I can drill them in the right place. I'll go a little slower with the layout this time. Other than that mistake, it went well and the hinge placement came out correctly.

I also started prepping the other bottom wing for the spar extensions and catching up with the first wing. The second time always goes faster.
