Left Aileron Final Assembly…

I began assembling the left aileron this morning.  I needed to find a way to dimple the leading edge holes for the counterbalance pipe.  I used a spare (and warped) non-adjustable set holder from my squeezer.  Worked like a charm.  Used a rubber mallet to hit the set holder, which had a male 1/8 dimple die in it.  I then set the CS4-4′s which layed down quite nicely.  Riveting the trailing skin to the spar was kind of a pain, but only cause I have big hands and the skin made some pretty nasty marks on the tops of my hands.  I tried wearing gloves, but can’t feel the rivet shop head when I do, so I went on without them…
