I am preparing to rivet the outboard aileron bracket to the rear spar. I was checking the rivet callout (DWG 10A-Detail A) and noticed that the bottom rivet is supposed to be AN426AD-7 (flush) vs. the 4 above it which are AN470AD-7's? When I checked my other wing I obviously missed this and made the whole row AD470AD-7s! For the life of me I can't see a reason for that one rivet needing to be a flush rivet?

The max up (I don't have the aileron stop installed yet)is determined by the bolt head attaching A406-1 Outboard aileron bracket to the aileron spar hitting W-414PP Outboard Aileron Hinge Brkt. Assy. as seen on dwg 13A. I don't think it is a problem in this case.

Someone pointed out my one round head rivet to me after I had 40 hours on the plane and had no problems with rub between rivet and aileron....after doing some pretty abrupt yanking and banking for 40 hours. I called Van's about it. The flat head was put there to give a little more clearance between the river head and leading edge of the aileron. They basically said no problem. To drill out a round head and replace it with a flat head could possibly cause a worse problem than the slight chance of a rub on the aileron leading edge. You sure don't want to weaken something as critical as an aileron hinge bracket by wallowing out the hole when you drill out the round head to replace it. I left mine alone and have over 100 hours on it now and will fly it to Las Vegas from San Antonio tomorrow.
