2. Find one of the 1/16" balsa sheets that you have

saved from the TE sheeting of the wing, and trim it to 2"
wide. Glue the 3/8" x 3/8" x 24" balsa aileron LE to the
sheet, aligning it along one of the trued edges of the sheet.

❏ ❏

3. Cover the aileron portion of the plan with a Great

Planes Plan Protector. Pin the aileron sheet with Aileron LE
in place on the plan. Use thin CA to glue the seven die-cut
3/32" balsa aileron ribs perpendicular to the bottom sheet
and tight against the 3/8" aileron LE.

❏ ❏

4. Glue the control horn doubler in position against

aileron rib #6.

❏ ❏

5. Remove the aileron from the building board, trim

the sheeting flush with ribs #4 and #10.

❏ ❏

6. Sand the aileron LE and the TE of the sheeting

with your sanding bar as shown in the sketch.

❏ ❏

7. Using another 1/16" balsa sheet that you saved

from the TE sheeting, glue the bottom aileron sheeting in
place, aligning it with the TE of the top aileron sheet on the
sanded aileron.

❏ ❏

8. Trim the bottom aileron sheeting flush all the way

around the aileron.

❏ ❏

9. Glue a leftover piece of 1/16" balsa aileron cap, to

the root end of the aileron.

❏ ❏

10. Cut 2-1/8" from the 1/4" x 2" x 7" balsa stick you

saved from the wing building section. Cut the 2-1/8" piece
in half lengthwise making two aileron caps. Glue the
aileron cap onto the aileron tip end, save the other piece for
the other aileron.

❏ ❏

11. Sand the aileron caps flush.

❏ ❏

12. Bevel and hinge the aileron the same as did with

the elevator and rudder. Cut the hinge slots in the wing TE
to match the hinge locations on the aileron.

13. Go back to step #2 and build the other aileron.
