Aileron static wicks

Still following the Dayton-Granger recommended static wick placement for the RV-10, I measured and realized that I can indeed fit two wicks on the wingtips (though I'll likely want to use Clickbond nutplates to make that easier to attach). IThe third wing wick goes on the ailerons, and since the QB ailerons come fully built, I used #8 rivnuts:

The end result looks clean (which is a surprise given it was my first time installing rivnuts):

From my test on a piece of scrap before, I knew this would create a gap:

I'll later either fill the gap with conductive cement or a strip of metal to ensure conductivity.


Time lapse:

Total aileron rivets (including the rivnuts): 4
Total aileron time: 2.1h

Ailerons complete!

Another section that had almost nothing left to do from the QuickBuild - the only two tasks were to countersink a pair of holes (one in each aileron) and then select the attachment hardware:
