Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Aileron rib build questionsLike Steve E. & Dick N. said, build the entire wing and aileron as an assembly, including pre fitting and drilling the holes for the aileron hinges.The wing should be complete, before you cut the ailerons loose. I used the plans type barn door hinges, but replaced the aluminum hinge pin, with AN hardware. The AN hardware I used was a screw with a long enough shank to go all the way through the hinge, cut the threads off, and drill a small hole for a cotter pin. Use a small flat washer under the cotter pin. I bridged the aileron gapwith 3" fabric, before any paint was applied.Chuck G.________________________________________________________________________________
