Brief Description:  Left aileron skin

Cut out and made left aileron skin in large bending brake.

Got bored and also welded seam on right fuel tank in preparation for either using that tank as a practice atnk or being pleasantly surprised and being able to use it as an actual tank. Worse case, I make three tanks and shitcan the fist one. The long seam on this one actually went pretty well. The only problems I ran into scaling up from small sample weld pieces to full side was with warpage of the skin. Had I had more clamps along the flange seam, the weld would have been pretty damn good. Even so, it wasn't bad, but it got better the more I welded and the more the seams stayed together because of welding. Next time; more clamps, more tack welds. THe tank is still good enough to be a candidate though. No major porosity except in places where I knew things weren't going right and I just stopped and backed off. They can still be cleaned up and filled.
