Hinge pockets
I prepped and installed the hinge pocket on the wing doing my standard carbon fiber pocket. Just round off the aileron, I use a piece of 3/4" and 1" PVC that I ripped in half with some sticker sand paper. I start with 2 mill carbon fiber. Steps: 1. I take a piece of wax paper and put it between the wing and a piece of scrap balsa sheeting (1/16) then I clamp it to the wing. 2. I cut a piece of CF and lay it in up agents the TE of the aileron pocket. 3. I the clamp it down to the scrap balsa and glue it in with thin CA. 4. I use a 1/16x1/16 balsa strip and glue it in up agents the TE and on the CF. I don’t clamp this, just use a rod to hold it in place as you glue it in. that’s it, now you have a nice and tight hinge pocket. I sand it flush with the end of the wing then glue in the wing tip block.
