Time to attach the hinge brackets

I layed everything I needed to install the hinge brackets. I noticed that there are 2 really thin washers with the fat ones. These washers will go on the bolts that screw in to the nutplates already riveted on the aileron spars. You'll also notice that I have loaded a #12 drill bit to my old pneumatic angle drill. When I got this drill I called Averys and asked them to advise me as to what drill bits to order. There said "no problem" and gave the exact drill bits I would need to finish my RV. I like it when I don't have to think. They also sent me this handy dandy aviation drill bit size checker. This thing has really comes in handy.
