Aileron actuation complete

When I installed the ailerons in place, it became apparent that they were not aligned properly - the inboard end of both ailerons was catching on the bracket's rivets:

After consulting with Van's, this was solved by shifting it outboard a bit with another washer and shortening the spacer:

I then proceeded to installing the torque tubes and pushrods. I decided to do this before attaching the bottom outboard skin to make adjustments easier:

The last part - adjusting the length of the bellcrank-to-aileron pushrods - required installing the flaps temporarily:

then using them as a reference for the ailerons:

I removed the ailerons, flaps and pushrods again after adjusting the pushrod lengths, but the only step left is to reinstall them after the bottom skin is riveted.

Time lapse:

Total aileron actuation rivets: 40
Total aileron actuation time: 22.1h
