Default RE: CD ScaleDesigns Albatros CI build

Problem found. Problem solved! I used a 3mm brass tube with the end sharpened to cut a straight line of holes in the aileron riblet. Then the 3mm birch dowel pieces included with the kit fit perfectly. I might consider using 3mm aluminum tube since it would have no ability to twist. I'll check the weight of both. This should lock in the washout and give it all the rigidity it needs. But I'll need to make sure that each aileron has exactly the same degree of twist.
