Another question. Please forgive me. I hope you don't mind the questions.

In your post #230 you indicate your method for installing the Robart hinges. As you know the joint between the wing trailing edge and the aileron leading edge is not a conventional joint. The pivot point for the hinges has to be set into the aileron quite a bit for the joint to swivel properly. The hinges that are built from the plans have their pivot point right at the back side of the aileron leading edge wood. Looking at your pics of the depth you made your pockets looks like the Robart hinge pivot is well in front of the back side of the leading edge wood.

My question...Did the pivot point location work OK for proper movement of the aileron?

Thanks again

Tom
