Aileron Re-skin

2/11/2012

Pulled the clamps off the aileron tonight for the second plywood skin. Everything looks good. I'm not seeing the scalloping that happened on the first pass. If I put a straight-edge on the aileron, I can tell where the ribs are, but between the ribs, the ply stays within 1/8" at the widest spacing. I don't think I can do any better and considering what fabric does between ribs, this will work just fine.
