Check and cut the aileron recess
Next day turn the wing right side up.
Lay the aileron on top of the wing and align the rear edge of the
aileron with the rear edge of the flap and the rear edge of the wing
tip/winglet and check that the pre-marked aileron recess on the top
of the wing is parallel to the front edge of the aileron.
Make any required corrections to the markings.
Put the aileron to one side and cut out the recess with a jigsaw,
then sand to a smooth finish with a long sanding block.
Fit the aileron
Turn the wing upside down again and wedge the wing so that the
top surface is level and solid.
Fit the aileron in place and clip
the trailing edge of the aileron
the flap and the wing
tip/winglet. The front edge of
the aileron should be sitting on
top of the pre-mould strip.
Check that the trailing edges are
lined up correctly and then
mark the pre-mould strip along
the front edge of the aileron
with a felt marker pen.
Remove the aileron and cut along the marked line with a jigsaw then sand to a smooth finish
with a long sanding block.
Refit the aileron and align the trailing edges again.
There are 3 hinges per aileron: 1 at each end of the aileron and 1 inside of the drive arm.
Mark the hinge locations – the outside of the end hinges should be 50mm in from each end of
the aileron and the distance from the end of the aileron to the nearside of the inner drive arm
hinge should be 360mm as shown above.
Mark each hinge location and identify both sides of each hinge: Hinge “A”, Hinge “B”, etc.
