More wing questions

[iskyfly]

Still working away on the wings, but making progress. A couple of questions:
1) Is it far to assume that I need to dimple the piano hinge where it attaches at the rear spar (since the skin/spar are dimpled there)?
2) Does anyone have suggestions for the ABS fairings that cover the in-wing counterweight?

As always, thanks to this community for feedback on the building process!

Cheers,
George

George,

I'm not sure if it's common practice, and it doesn't seem to be specified in the plans or the wing construction manual, but I think some have chosen to use the CCP-42 rivets to attach the ailerons to the trailing edge, rather that countersinking and using the CCC-42. I'm not there yet, and I'm not sure if this gives a stronger attachment or if it's no advantage at all. Maybe Fred and others can weigh in.

I dimpled the hinges. If I had it to do over, I wouldn't countersink or dimple anything and just use ccp rivets everywhere.

I appreciate the feedback! It seems like I have so many questions all along the way because so much of this is new territory for me. Hearing what others have done, would do differently, or are preparing to do has helped me not to get stuck forever. Cheers!
