Thanks Jack and I understand what you are saying. When I cut out the aileron Iwill move the hinge flush to the top of the cap strip. But, the cap strip, whenglued on without shaping, will not be flush with the sides of the aileronspars because the aileron spars are cut on top at an angle other than 90 degrees.I new this was going to be hard to explain and that is why I drew the boxon the image. Clear as mud???--------John FrancisRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Aileron Capstrip

JohnWhen you install the aileron spar hold it back the thickness of the piano hingeso the aileron trailing edge lines up with the wing after you install the pianohinge. This should give you a little room between the aileron spar and thevertical plank in the wing. When you cut out the aileron, cut the cap stripflush with the vertical plank in the wing. This should leave enough cap stripoverhanging to sand at an angle flush with the aileron spar. You will also needto add filler strips between the cap strips. These you sand flush with thespars so when the piano hinge is flush with the top of the aileron it will layflush against the spar.http://www.westcoastpiet.com/images/Chr ...
