XS Aileron fit to wing.
It doesn=92t!
The length of the trailing edge of the wing feature to receive the aileron
is=0Aabout
half an inch longer than the aileron. this leaves a gap between the tip=0Aof
the aileron and the inside of the tip close-out.
Yes I have used the XS aileron kit.
The official response was =91whoops!' The man who built the prototype
extended=0Athe
close-out with cardboard extensions and forgot to tell anyone.
I hope that this will help anyone building XS ailerons by forewarning
them.=0Athey
would be well advised to extend the tip close-outs by 13mm during build.=0AYou
can always cut them back if they change the wing.
I have also found that the mass balance arms restrict the aileron
dawn=0Amovement
if they are made to drawing. Don=92t rush to fit the mass balances, or=0Ato
fill the ailerons until more advice is available. I think that the
shapes=0Aspecified
were probably fine for the foam built wings, but the are not quite=0Athe
business for the pre-built wings.
Good Luck.... Bryan Allsop...360uk=0A
