Ailerons
- (9 hours)
Category: C19 Wing+Ail
Note from 12/31/05: I haven't taken very good notes of my progress each day, but I HAVE made a lot of progress. I produced the aileron, mounted it, and arranged the controls. I didn't do a great job of hinge placement on the left wing, so I'll try to be more careful on the right. As it is, everything moves smoothly, but I had to jimmy things a lot to get it all working perfectly.
PK note of 6/7/2020: Aileron finish and balancing is a challenge for Cozy builders. From Marc Zeitlan's comments, _most_ Cozy ailerons are out of balance and tail heavy. After prime and pre-paint, the balance tested good, being very slightly nose heavy. I am now putting final finish on the control surfaces and will show the results in the finishing section.
