Aileron pulley guards, wing skins

I spent some time disassembling the aileron pulleys to add a hose clip to hold the guard in place on both pulleys. It was quite difficult to adjust them so they didn't bind. The outbound one still rubs slightly, but I think with some use it will wear the outer part so it runs free. The tolerances are extremely tight and it's a difficult place to reach into.


Next I removed the plastic protective covering from the lower wing skin in preparation for riveting the wing closed. I'm hoping to get the riveting done tomorrow morning. I also removed the pitot/AOA tubes so we can access all of the rivets properly. I'll reinstall them afterwards.
