Default RE: Blue Angel - Build

I started work on the ailerons. I cut the hinge slots first and then inserted 1/32” thick plywood tabs in the slots and glued the aileron stock to the trailing edge of the wing with rubber glue. After the glue set, I glued the 3/32 basswood trailing edge on the aileron stock making sure the trailing edge was straight. The tip of the Blue Angel aileron extends past the end of the wing and into the wing tip block. The basswood can also be used on trailing edge of sheet stock and used as a guide to plane the balsa to a tapered aileron.
