Hello glider builders,
Can someone give me some input on the two questions below ? The manual give
s little or no information on how to fit the ailerons, and there is no one
left at the factory who knows anything about the long wings.
1) I am doing a dry-fit of the ailerons, but I notice that the GA02 plate
with AN4 bolt etc. is projecting above the top of the aileron (see page 7-6
, diag. 13), and it couldn't possibly fit into the narrow closeout.The only
solution is to cut a slot into the top wing skin. What did you do ? Maybe
a small fairing on the wing would reduce turbulence in that spot. 2) The ma
nual tells us to bond on the outer panel and then fit the ailerons. That do
esn't make sense to me, as there is no guarantee that the ailerons will sti
ll fit, and then I would have a real problem. The short wings were closed w
ith aileron in place and a spacer between aileron and wing skin. I intend t
o do it the same way with the glider wings. I can already see that the aile
ron is rubbing against the closeout a little at each end and I am removing
a small piece of the carbon fiber closeout for clearance. How did you fitth
e ailerons ? Best regards, Karl<html><div></div>
