Got info from Peter on how to twist the aileron to align the trailing edges, but since it's involved I thought it was prudent to check with the factory first before starting to de-rivet lots of rivets. The right end of the aileron trailing edge needs to come down 13mm.
So, while I await an answer I decided to use the time to work on the other tip. This tip's styrofoam insert proved to be more difficult to remove. Had to resort to using a small hack saw to cut through fiberglass that was up against the inside of the styrofoam.
I didn't like the 2nd mounting plate I had made a few days ago so I decided to make another one. This one came out perfect.
Measure twice....
And the plate is installed!
Nice! Just waiting for screws to arrive.
NEXT TASKS:
- Rivet the one on the step rib that needs special handling. OK, I've been putting this off..
- Composite filler for join between wing tip and skins. Perhaps other seams can use some filler? Will do this on a day I can open the garage door.
- Re-rivet some of the aileron to get it to line up with the flap.
- Mount light when the screws arrive.
- Finish right wing.
- Finally finish one of the composite tips of the elevator.
- Fill rivets of elevator with Bondo.
- START ON FUSELAGE!
