I'm trying to get the pushrod to the aileron on the  right wing to move smoothly, however, the pushrod is  hitting the inboard side of the aft spar where the pushrod travels  through the hole.  Can I file the hole bigger so the rod and the rivets  will not drag and or hit the aft spar?   

  

 Thanks.

I had to open the hole on mine to get clearance.  To minimize the amount you have to bore away, rotate the pushrod so the shop heads of the rivets are the furthest away from closest edge of the hole.  Another option is to weld the rod end to the rod rather than riveting it - that eliminates the extra interference issue you have to deal with caused by the rivets.
