The normal construction sequence is to build the main wing structure, then the fuel tanks, and finally the ailerons and flaps. I decided to start with the ailerons and flaps so that I could delay any work on the main wing structure. The fatal accident of RV-8 N58RV was caused by an in-flight separation of one of the outboard wing sections, so I wanted to wait until the accident investigation was complete before doing any work on parts that might see a design change.

Here is the skeleton of the left aileron all clecoed together.

Now I have to do is deburr the parts, prime all the parts for both ailerons, and then I can rivet the ailerons together.

Unfortunately, I am heading back on the road again, so nothing more will happen for a week or so.

Note - The N58RV accident investigation eventually put my concerns to bed - an extensive engineering review and static testing by outside consultants showed that the wing structure as designed is adequate.
