==============
Lower wing (cont)
Outer wings (cont)
The ply ribs W11 was drilled out using the hardware for a templage and epoxied to the lower spars.
The two upper spars, sub-LE and 1/4" wide TE in front of the aileron were glued in place with carpenters glue.
The 1/4" thick TE was slot cut for the triple laminate wing tips.
The wing tips were epoxied in place for extra strength.
Ailerons:
The LE of the aileron is triangular shaped with the perpendicular side towards the aileron ribs.
Since the ailerons go to the wing tips, I also slot cut the LE.
For extra strength, I epoxied all the aileron ribs in place.
Extrapolating? Where the heck did you learn this word? Geesh, think you may hurt your nugget if you keep thinking like this.
