Aileron assembly
Tonight I cleco'd the ailerons in preparation for drilling. Be aware, the instructions leave some things out. They say to cleco the skin to the ribs and then the nose skin to the skin/spar, etc... It doesn't say anything about assembling ALL of the pieces, so I had to do a little back tracking. Things went together easily... should have known better. I also forgot the little reinforcement plates between the nose ribs and spar. Finally got them all together and ready
I pulled out the countertop that I intended to use as a flat surface... only it turned out to be not so flat. Guess I'll have to make one up. Be sure and check whatever surface your going to use for flatness. It may look flat....
Cleco'd aileron
End of aileron.. things are tight.
(Time: 2 hours)
