RE: Another Fliteskin ME 109 build thread
Hi Jose
Thank you for this tip, it made huge difference :-)
Back to the build:
So, after the motivation hit with the first attempt to construct the aileron, it was time for the second attempt. I took Jose's suggestion to build it flat on the plans, but also decided to modify it to a bit more "old fashion" construction which will make it more rigid to my preference (not that Idoubt Jose's design) and will allow me to sand it more easily.
So, I added a full length TE and used triangles reinforcements on the middle ribs. Then, Ihave sanded it all up (I am sure I have mentioned before how much Ihate sanding) and it came out nice.
Then, I tack glued the bottom Fliteskin and placed the aileron onto the jig.
The Gorilla glue is quite nasty to work with, and also Itried to pure as little as possible, I made a mental note to use even less of it on the next glue application. Ifound that I needed all the T-pins I had to tack the Fliteskin to the aileron and Ido not think I did a good job on the LEwhere it curves just before the edge (of the Fliteskin). Iam not sure yet how to do it better next time.
I have also took the opportunity today to get the second 1/4" sheet on the wing LE. I think I am slowly get to the no return point of heaving to sand the wings LE.
