Ailerons
Started - 2.7.2000 - Finished 2.13.2000
 |
Getting the pieces ready to build. I marked the spar top, bottom, inboard, and outboard. I also marked the ribs, and then double checked my marks... |
 |
I drilled all of the stiffeners to the both skins, and deburred and dimpled both skins and all stiffeners... |
 |
To debur the inside of the skins, I just spun the debur bit in my fingers. The speed debur tool is too hard to get in the tight space of the bend of the skin... |
 |
Both skins primed and stiffeners riveted in... |
 |
I used my circle cutter to make the half moon cut in the aileron end rib... if you do this, make sure you put a piece of wood underneath the rib... |
 |
The holes turned out great in both ribs... |
 |
Left hand aileron skeleton... |
 |
Here I am drilling the end ribs to the skins... |
 |
Both aileron skeletons ready for prep, primer, and assembly... |
 |
Both aileron skeletons prepped, primered, and riveted... |
 |
Here I am drilling the leading edge ribs to the leading edge skins... |
 |
Done drilling... |
 |
I bought this $3 counter sink from Home Base some time ago for another project and it worked great on the counter weight... |
 |
Counterweight drilled and countersunk... |
 |
Mounting brackets installed... |
 |
Completed aileron... |
