| Ailerons |
 |
 |
| Moving right along... here are the parts for the ailerons. |
 |
| Started like the flaps, attaching the Drive Plate to the ribs. |
 |
| Drilled with 40's then up to 30's.. deburred, primed and riveted. |
 |
| Done with this assembly. |
 |
| Made these parts a while back from the "angle-kit" Sonex sells. They are basically used as spacers on the Counterbalance Assembly. |
 |
| Clamp together, then drill some holes and rivet.. The outside dimensions between the walls needs to be 1". |
 |
| Done! |
 |
| The all dreaded Lead Counterbalance weight. People say two things about this; It is tough to cut in half. And it is hard to drill through. We will see very soon! |
 |
| Using the bandsaw and a Bi-metal blade. Not bad really, you do need to stop and wax the blade every 2 inches or so because the blades builds up with lead. Feed it through very slowly!! Took about 10 min total time. |
 |
| Not sure if I should dress the edges or not? I think Yes, Dad thinks wait to see how the final balancing goes. I might ask the e-group. |
 |
| Finished tonight drilling holes in the hinges and deburring them... Next we will tackle the skin cut-outs. |
