I just finished riveting the bottom skin to the spar and thought I better take a look at where I stand. This is what I see with the right and left ailerons respectively.
The right aileron was off on the end rib hole alignments. Using a punch I was able to line the holes up but even with the clecos in I have this twist. I am guessing the spar got twisted somehow, maybe from the counterbalance/nose rib assembly since that process seemed pretty hokey to me.
My question is can I fix this twist during the trailing edge riveting or do I need to do something else now to correct this. What can I do?
Thanks,
Jim
