Aileron Rebuild Project

[alwaysoar]

A couple of questions about the ailerons I'm rebuilding.

1/ Do they need an IA's sign off to recover, or can an A&P sign them off for recover, or do they need a sign off at all before recover? I have as many answers to that question as there are mechanics out there.

2/ should the leading edges be nailed along the spar? My old spars were cracked where the leading edges had been nailed along the top and bottom of the spar. It seems to me they should not be nailed.

3/ Are the metal tip bows "structural" members? Same deal, except Forrest says no and I trust him, but my IA says yes. I made a repair to them and wonder about technicality of sign off.

Thanks

I have my ailerons in the garage and can shoot pictures if you need them. They were in great shape when they came off of the plane.
