Aileron gap to fix.

I also found a rather gaping hole to fix. I’m working on the starboard side of the wing first and there’s a rather large gap between the aileron and flap. Also, that gap isn’t constant – it is gradually larger as you move towards the trailing edge.

As you can see from the ruler, it’s no trivial gap. I’m going to have to cut a bit of hardwood will have to be cut to lengthen the aileron…

Ailerons and flaps

I have the wing as finished as I can, before fiberglassing it. A close look will see all the 3/8″ square blocks I inset into the wings to hold the servo covers on.With almost all the wing completed, I worked a bit on the moveable surfaces today. Lots of drilling and hinging work. Looks pretty good.

I did find that I will have to lengthen the ailerons just slightly (about 1/8″ to make up for the gap you see here. A piece of hardwood should do the job.
