Default RE: YELLOW AT-6 TEXAN BUILD THREAD

Post pictures when you have time.


Outer wings:

pic 1/2:
The inner side of the flap well has to be removed and sanded.
Before/after.

pic 3/4:
The outer side of the flap well has rounded corners that have to squared away.
Before/after

pic 5:
I put the 1/64" thick ply in the flap well and used a thin piece of brass to get a line parallel to the right edge of the flap well.
After cutting along the line, the ply will be snug against the side of the flap well.

pic 6:
The ply on the bottom and a 7/16" thick piece of balsa goes against the LE of the flap well.

pic 7:
ply and balsa epoxied into the flap well.
Lots of weights to keep the wing as well as the ply flat.

pic 8/9:
The aileron comes with two cuts into the wing.
We finish cutting along the front to remove the aileron and then finish removing the second cut (which is waste material).
Before/after.

pic 10:
A 7/16" thick piece of balsa is epoxied to the TE of the wing where the aileron goes plus a triangular piece of balsa is epoxied to the edge of the outer flap well.
