Hey Jake,

Just watched your video. Looked like you had more than enough throw on the aileron without cutting anything. You aren't gong to be doing 3D with this plane are you? It does look like there is a pretty big gap in that hinge line however. You might want to think about some tape.

As far as covering goes, what are you planning to use to cover area where you glassed the center section?

Thanks, Terry
Ya, probably so, but little things like that kind of drive me nuts and the OCD in me won't leave it alone. I will be addressing the hinge gap so be on the lookout for an update on that. I went ahead and just used some Monokote Dove Gray on the bottom of the wing and it is a pretty close match. You will see in the next video. I already had the stuff sitting around and since it is on the bottom I am happy with how well it works. Plus the facts that at some point I may need to recover it in the future and I can keep the cost down with the materials I already have on hand. Work continues...
