Flap and Aileron hinges

I started mounting the flap and aileron hinges this morning and discovered that I had drilled the aileron rod end bearing bolt hole incorrectly, misaligned by about 1mm. After trying to weld it unsuccessfully I decided to make a new one. That's a work in progress because I had to buy some flat 4130 steel sheet. Unfortunately the engineering workshop I took it to to bend got it wrong too, so I'm sourcing another piece of sheet.

Anyway, I proceeded with the other hinges, drilled the, to the spars and began installing the nutplates. There's still more work to do to finish this job.
