December 2013

Now it's time to assemble the left aileron and see if I am close.
cutting the slots was easier than I thought it would be

drills and files to the rescue

aileron at first assembly

I'm having a problem getting the counterweight to seat properly.  I don't want to drill anything until I know this part fits.

The first things that did not fit were the drill holes drawn in the plans.  I can change that.  the next problem was getting the aileron to close properly.  after checking other people's blogs, I re-cut the small bracket. That helped.  I think I will re-make one of the ribs.  It may not have been drilled quite right.  I will try this .  I think I have a handle on it.  Wish me luck.
