My ailerons are built and ready to cover. I was noticing how easy they are ableto twist from end to end. I'm assuming that after covering and stitching thatease of twisting will go away.Not that there is a straight comparison between the two, but I know that my RCairplane wings always stiffened up after covering.Same deal with the wings... my wings are very "twisty" I know the lift strutswill keep them in check but outboard of the struts they can twist fairly easily.am I correct in assuming that after these things are covered I won't be able totwist them like a piece of red licorice??DJ_________________________________________________________________________________
