Brief Description:  Ailerons Foam Core and Wingtip Joining

Worked on taking a little twist out of the table. I then added double sided tape to the surface of the table. The plan is to stick the lower aileron panels to the taped flat table. Then I will add the 1/4 inch foam core, shape and cover with two plys of bid. Once cured I will remove the panels from the table and presto, flat bottoms. At least that is the plan. I stuck down the aileron skins to the taped surface which looks like it will work great. I then bonded the cores down using a thick q-cell mix. I weight the core down with bricks. After they cured I beveled the foam core with sandpaper and then sealed them with a runny q-cell. I then prepared some square block to butt the shear webs against to ensure that the shear webs are at a 90 degree angle to the aileron bottoms. On one side the web was under 90 degrees and I could just anchor the block against the shear web and it was self jigging. On the other side the web was over 90 and I had to anchor the square block and then clamp the shear web to the block. I then added a fillet of bondo between the block and the outside surface of the shear web to hold it in position during laminating
