The ailerons are finished and though one had significant waves in its skin prior to installing the aex wedge, they both came out fine. I did use the proseal approach. Also the one with the waves still has a couple of minor wide spots where the waviness wasn't completely removed but one would have to be really studying it to notice. One has no warp and the other about a 1/8" rise. I think the warp began with the installation of the counterbalance because my 1/8 aileron had with a slight warp after I installed it. I figured I could get that out by weighing things down during subsequent process. Oh, well.

Use the holes in the trailing edge as your drill guide and drill every other hole into the 3" side of your angle. Drill at a comparable angle to the finished skins. When you are finally ready to rivet the trailing edge, install every other rivet, tape them into place, turn it over and calico the empty holes to the 3" back riveting bar. (The 2" X 3" angle you just drilled) Then do the standard back riveting. After every other hole is riveted, remove the clecoes and back rivet the remaining holes. Be careful not to place any of the factory rivet heads over any of the holes drilled into the bar, when you back rivet the remaining rivets. This procedure made a very flat trailing edge for me. Bill
