Chris's Super 60 Build

Will be a small triangular piece fitting on the aileron ends, ailerons built up I am assuming ?

Welcome to the forum Dazza.

 

 

W1 is on the plan from Outerzone - its the wing tip and glues to W2 to form the shaped wingtip.

Maybe Dazza you are working from a different plan?

 

Ailerons are not shown on the Outerzone (Webster ) plan,  but generally ailerons are Vee shaped at front -some are top hinged and shaped differently  ( slanted back )

 

Let us know which plan - Outerzone , Ben Buckle etc and we will try to help more.

There is also a version of the plan redrawn by Colin Usher which shows ailerons and I expect just sanding the aileron leading edge to a v is what he intends.   Note aileron gap should be minimal to make ailerons more effective.   Also aileron wings have less dihedral than non- aileron wings.  Make sure of this point when joining wing panels.

 

Personally I prefer the original drawings to the redrawn CAD versions by Usher etc.   Tried and tested is preferable and nicer style when handdrawn.

John - the ailerons are solid balsa on the Usher plan 1/2 by one and a half inch balsa TE stock.

 

Dazza - the 2 aileron servos as in the Usher plan are preferred so build that but consider how servos are mounted.   Have you cut holes in ribs for servo leads?
