Deburring aileron brackets and fairings - 3.0 hrs

Tonight I finished all the deburring on all these parts. The flap braces need countersinking rather than dimpling, because they are sandwiched in between the dimpled skin and the flat flap hinge brackets. So I set up the countersink tool and countersunk the flap braces. Then I cleaned all the parts in preparation for priming.
