Cessna 182 aileron
I thought everyone might like to know what I ended up doing to solve my aileron problem as stated above. Well I thought about the suggestions received and then realized that the degree of warp was not that great and perhaps a minimal solution was in order. SO what I did was make a 3/32" cut in the middle of the aileron LE to TE but not all the way through. Then I put a 2lb bean bag on each end of the aileron to hold it straight (with wax paper beneath) and then filled the gap I had sawed with medium CA and wiped off any excess. Then after one hour I applied thick CA and wiped off any excess. Four hours later (bean bags still in place) I filled any remaining gap with balsa filler. Finally after eight hours I rough sanded the surface of the joint and applied a soaking THIN CA and wiped it off. Twelve hours later I checked the joint and found it to be very strong and sanded it to surface requirements. Someday I'll fly this Cessna and I HOPE the right aileron will not fail.
What do you guys think of my solution??
