We attach the aileron hinges with 8-32 blind nuts. These nuts are held in place with rivets. All the stress, when attached, is on the nut, not on the rivet.
Check to see if you actually have nuts attached with rivets, or a hinge attached with rivets. After installing all the blind nuts, we glass over the aileron spar. N64KR Daniel R.

On doing an inspection of the wing outer panels, I discovered that the original builder had used SS rivets to mount the piano hinges to the spars, and one came loose! I scanned the plans but could not find anything about the installation of the aileron, just the control horn . What kind of fastener should be used? and how many? Could someone please go in to detail about this most critical assembly. I have spent a great deal of time finishing this little bird, and hopefully this is no big deal. At this point, I thought The wings were complete, ready for paint.
