Well, no paint on the wings yet. I am hung up on these ailerons. There is much more finishing and sanding and filling, than I thought there would be. And now, I find that my old weights will not balance to 100%, so I am going to have to make new ones. What a bummer. Would it not be really nice to just have to do something, just one thing, just one time and be done with it?
I have found out one thing about the warping on the ailerons. Ours are as if you had cut them out of Dan Diehl wing skins. They sat in the garage and shop for over 3 months with no warping. As soon as I installed the spar in them, they started warping. So, I took them in the house and the warping stopped and even returned to mostly straight. So, I am keeping them in the house until they get installed just before the plane goes to the airport. I am hoping that covering them with paint, will stop the warping, but if it is heating and cooling, then I have no chance and I still will never understand why it happens to me and Jerry and not to all the ailerons out there. Anyway, a few more weeks of this sillyness and I can get on to the real stuff. Our upholstery is almost finished and I am really pummpped about seeing how it is going to look when it is all installed Keep on building cause the YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAWWWWWWWSSSSSSSS are waiting.
