Aileron
September 18, 2007
Ended last time making the leading edge cut-outs.
Started with drawing the rib location lines
The ailerons come a little long, so I took advantage of the scrap piece of aluminum and used it to draw the hole locations for the rib.
I made a top & bottom guide,  as the hole locations are different for each.  This pic shows the top of the aileron, where the previous pic was the bottom.
Like all my other control surfaces, I followed the same sequence of steps... here I start by drilling two holes in each rib lilne.
After drilling and cleocing the center rib, I moved down to the inboard rib... shown above with the drive plate attached.
The counterbalance assembly is in place. Trying to drill the leading edge holes. I had to use a long drill bit to get in there.
The tips went on better than I expected. It did take a little adjusting to get them where I wanted them, but all in all, not to bad.
Everything drilled to #40.  Kind of a long day of work on these things, I was exhausted!  Pic of me being a goober playing with our new tripod. Kind of looks like a "cut-n-paste" pic doesn't it?        (By the way.. I am NOT a fan of resting my parts on the clecos like shown, this was for a pic only. )
