Glued up first Raven aileron
5/15/2011
Today I built up a jig to glue the aileron spar, ribs and trailing edge stock. I got everything glued and clampled without any problems. I'll pull it out tomorrow to see how it looks.
I used some scrap wood to build some edge clamps on the fence of the jig. This allowed me to keep all the trailing edge stock and the back of the ribs located in the same plane and not buckle up. I also used a block to clamp the trailing edge lengthwise in the jig. Simple stuff, but seemed to work well.
