The stick monkey managed to damage the right aileron on his RV-4 whilst pulling it into the hangar. As we said in the military—no excuse.
I need to fabricate a replacement as quickly as possible as this is our primary flight test airplane for our AOA project. I seem to recall that the -4 and -6 ailerons are identical; as are the -7 and -8. My question is whether an -7 or -8 aileron will fit on a four. The pre punched components will save some time. Last time I built an aileron was 1997; and I presume there have been some advances since then.
I appreciate any insight before putting a parts list together.
Thanks,
Vac
