Ailerons

These Ailerons are the ones with hinges. I was a little concerned about the stiffness of the normal hinges that ZAC uses so I went with the hinge option.

Measured and cut the tips

 

The geometry took a lot of study.  The measurements are different than the hingless option.  Make sure you follow the plans

 

Last cut

 

Woops.  Well it was going too easy.  The tips do not quite meet up. 

 

After a lot of pondering.  I decided to cut the forward part and make the end cap a two piece

 

It doesn't look too bad

 

The inboard side

 

Another view of my modified tip

 

I also went with the aileron trim option.

 

A lot like the Elevator trim
