Hello all, I got a build question. I have not yet installed the mass
balance horns or their boxes in the wings. The ailerons are done and mounted
on the wings. It would seem to make sense to mark where the horns are to go
on the ailerons and their cut- outs on the wing skin and then redux the
boxes in place before the top skin goes on. Then when everything is where it
is supposed to end up, cut cut the skin and closeout for the horns. Then
with foam arms made up to the length they should be including the lead (but
no lead yet) attached to the ailerons, shape for clearance. Then cut off the
end of the arm where the lead is supposed to go and ... well you know. Sound
like a reasonable way to proceed?
Also, since this is a balance, and a bunch of weight,
when drilling out for balancing, would it not make sense to do your holes in
the lead from the aft end as much as possible, getting rid of as much weight
as possible and still getting balance?
Thanks and, peace to all. Kevin Klinefelter A211
