<XS Wing>
I recently installed my aileron on the port side wing. There was no clearance
between the top of the aileron and the top close out flange. In fact I had to
trim about 1/4 inch in order for the required minimum upper travel. The
aileron still rubs significantly on the upper flange even after the trim. My
concerns in that too much trimming of the upper flange will not allow a proper
bond of the wing close out when it becomes time to do so.
Right now after the 1/4 trim I am left with a flange about 20mm < 3/4 inch>
wide.
I'm assuming that friction is not acceptable on the aileron at this stage of
build. Wrong?
< I noted the mixing stick spacers used for top close out on the flaps to
help this situation. But mention of only box tape for the ailerons which is not
near enough thickness for this situation.>
If you have read this far. Thank you. Here are my questions.
1. Is any aileron rubbing on the top flange acceptable at this stage of
build? Perhaps there is something that I have missed later on in the manual to
fix
this?
2. If not. Can anyone give me an idea about how much trimming was needed on
their XS wing?
3. Or What was the width of the upper flange after trimming and did it effect
the bond of the wing top?
As always thanks for the help, and the most valued opinions.
