End Trim of Aileron Skins

April 30, 2012

Dan marked and trimmed one edge of the ailerons skins.


Dan compared the markings on the two ailerons to make sure the measurments matched

Here is the aileron counter weight arm hole

The plans show to cut out the slot all the way to the flange edge.  We are going to try to keep that connecting piece in and see if we can assemble the aileron.

Using the electric shears

Cutting outside the line and file it.

Trying to test fit the end rib.  The plan’s drawingg of this rib is really tricky.  Dan made a test run of this rib and that is what you see in the pictures.  It does not fit too well

Notice the corner sticking out.

The inside looks really nice.

Here’s that end rib again

We are going to check our pattern for the end rib and make another test end rib.
