3.5 hours
Continuing with the ailerons, I cut out the LH skin. As usual it went much faster than the first one!
Next I cut out the two notches in each skin. The first one accommodates the counterbalance weight. It fit perfectly!
The other detail is the slot for the drive rib. I cut these out with a cutoff wheel on a Dremel tool. I couldn't find my tiny round file though, so I'll have to buy one and tidy up these slots later.

| You can see here the slot needs to extend just a bit more upward for the rib to fit. |

Next I busted out the piano hinges. I had a nice hole template made from a ruler that I made several years ago, but it got destroyed in a previous move, so I had to build a new one! Once that was done the hinges only took a few minutes.
The last thing I did was lay out the holes for these skins. Now it's time to watch football!
