Ailerons
This photo is the right Aileron completed. The
left Aileron is drilled, debured and is awaiting
final assembly. The Aileron has not been
balanced at this point because I may end up
painting the aircraft and that would require a
re-balance. The Ailerons will be balance after the
final decision is made. The counterbalance bolts
were reversed after this photo was taken.

The left Aileron, final drilling complete. It must now be debured prior to the final
assembly
assembly
As is usual with the kit all detail parts must be completed prior to moving on to the pre
formed skin. This photo shows the right and left drive plates attached to the Aileron rib.

Counter balance, and all detail parts
completed. Note: after looking at the
counterbalance I noticed that the bolts
were inserted from the wrong side. This
was corrected after the final assembly. I
am learning to slow down and study the
plans a little better before final cuts or
assembly.
