Reference: Aileron hinge bracket assembly W-413, Dwg. 10A
The inboard aileron hinge bracket assembly W-413 calls for three AN426 flush rivets.
The exploded iso view calls out the flat head location as "inboard" or
"outboard". Are the "inboard" and "outboard" terms relative to the wing, or the
aileron? I'm not sure why these few rivets are specified flush rivets, so
its hard to determine which side of the assembly needs to be a smooth surface.
Thanks,
Craig

Vince,
I did the same thing when I built my 9A, and rebuilt the edge with West
systems. Had no problems. I put an extra layup over the patched area on
the inside, and shimmed the other half to match the added thickness.

Hello,
I have botched the cutting of my cowl, as in major.
The main area affected is where the top and lower halves meet. Half the
distance from the firewall to the front has a gap 1/2" or so on both
sides.
Fortunately, I didn't screw up further by cutting off the front section
whee
the plate nuts and screws go.
I intend to rebuild the edges affected (West System Epoxy, Rutan's S
cloth)
but do not know if I can get away with this as I will have to mount the
hinges to this rebuilt area.
Would appreciate feedback from any who have faced this, especially those
who
have communicated with Van's.
Thanks!

Vince, I'm sure you'll be fine repairing your cowl edges.
HOWEVER ...
I do still have a new lower cowl with scoop if anyone needs it ... make
somebody a really sweet deal ... ;-)

Craig,
I am not looking at my wings but I believe the AN426 heads are on the
outboard side(WING) of the assembly. There is another one on the bottom
outboard most rivet hole also. This is all to allow clearance for the
aileron when deflecting in its range of motion. You will understand all of
it when you pin up the aileron for the first time and see the clearance
issues I am talking about. If you were to install 470's or install the rivet
from the inboard side you may have clearance issues with the aileron
counterweight.
Hope this help a little. If this doesn't wait till I get home and look at my
wings. Deal!
