Feb 24, 2024 1.5 Wing / Aileron Hinge Attaching Pt. 1 Category: Wings
RH wing. Testing my idea to hold aileron to wing and it worked pretty well. I think the ends might be off by maybe 1/16" of an inch but I am okay with that. 3/4" tubing used as required spacers between wing and aileron.

Hinges placed using the calibrated eyeball method, then drilled two holes at a time for clecos to hold in place. After 6 holes drilled and clecos put in, moved on to the next hinge and did the same. Once all was done, removed clamps and confirmed aileron has full movement. Reinstalled square tubing and a pair of clamps to hold aileron from flexing as wing assembly is upside down.

Next step will be to installed the inboard control horn once I figure out how to hold it at its proper angle.
