Need a little help with the ailerons. Standard aileron stock won't work because I want to make very large ailerons. I'm shooting for a cord about 3" or maybe a little more. I could build them out of sticks, but thats a lot of sticks and I don't have that much on hand right now.

I was planning to cut a bunch of long, skinny triangles (ribs) from 1/8" sheet and lay them in between (2) pieces of 1/16" sheeting. A piece of sheeting for the bottom of the aileron - glue all the triangles on top - sorta like ribs. Then sheet over the top with another piece of 1/16" sheeting. Then use a standard piece of triangle stock to cap it all for the LE.

I've attached a pic of what I originally intended. The blue lines are the triangle ribs. There's a side view and a top view here. The brown block in between 2 of the ribs is the control horn hard point.

Anybody got any other ideas on how to make large ailerons? [sm=confused.gif]
