Aileron Hinge Bolt Fit
Thought I would pass this on to hopefully save someone else some grief. While fitting the ailerons, the outboard bolts fit fine after running a #11 reamer through. The inner hinge was a different story. Finally noticed the bolt -AN3-14A - wasn't binding in the hinge itself but the bearing. The bolt was out of spec (.190). Had three more just like it.
No chance of my mixing them up....they're the ones with all the cadmium plating rubbed off.
Yes, I know - "always check the fit"
